Excursion Destinations in Thuringia
In Thuringia, one cannot pass by the great names of German history: Goethe, Schopenhauer, Liszt and Wagner – even Schiller found inspiration for his “Glocke” here; all of them once stayed in Rudolstadt. High above the town on the Hainberg rises one of Thuringia’s most splendid baroque castles – Heidecksburg Palace.
The Wartburg in Eisenach, the cathedral and Krämerbrücke in Erfurt or the Anna Amalia Library in Weimar – just to name a few of the Thuringian classics!
Nowhere else in Germany do cultural and historical landmarks lie so close to peaceful green landscapes as in Thuringia.
