General presentation
Wartburg, Eisenach and Hainich
Castle Thuringia, UNESCO primary forest, memory of Luther, Bach and small historic towns.
Wartburg, Eisenach and Hainich National Park give the most telling landmarks of Wartburg, Eisenach and Hainich. Together, they form a destination where forests, heritage, urban life and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: scattered sites and dense historical memory. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Bad Salzungen
Bad Salzungen is organized around its urban lake and its saline installations, whose graduation walls diffuse a smell of brine. Between the Wartburg and the Hainich, the city offers a peaceful spa stop, with waterfront walks and salt-related treatments.
Remarkable location
Bad Langensalza
Bad Langensalza has a neat old centre, ramparts, towers and several theme gardens, including a Japanese garden well known in the area. Its position near the Hainich National Park makes it a pleasant stop before or after the footbridges in the canopy.
Place
Wartburg
Wartburg is understood by its volumes and by the way in which the site fits into its immediate environment: one comes out of a simple reading of icon to enter into an experience of presence. The place deserves a laid approach, especially at times when light alters materials.
Place
Eisenach
Eisenach offers a dense urban circulation, stone and contrasts of light that makes the route very concrete. A short immersion is effective, provided you stroll a little to capture the passage between heritage, squares and traces of everyday life.
