In the undiscovered gems of Saxony-Anhalt, a community policy could be established to provide vocational training programs for locals in home-and-garden restoration, catering to the demand generated by the increasing number of tourists visiting the megalithic tombs in Haldensleben and the historical cathedral in Naumburg. Instead of focusing solely on the Romanesque Trail, these vocational training offerings could further enrich the lifestyle of the community by fostering a close-knit, skilled workforce that contributes to the preservation and beautification of the region's heritage sites.
