Germany and Prague: Roots of the Reformation
Like the Reformation itself, you'll begin in Prague's Old Town Square, where Jan Hus' fatal criticism of the Catholic Church inspired the Magisterial Reformation 100 years later.
Track Luther from his years as an obedient monk in Erfurt to his radical 95 Theses nailed in Wittenberg, then host your own forum for discourse in Heidelberg University—where Luther famously defended himself in 1518.
