Cultural highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The region is also a place of rich cultural history. The Wartburg in Eisenach, where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German, or the classical Weimar, birthplace of great literary figures such as Goethe and Schiller are worth a visit. Vacationers can immerse themselves in the history of music in Eisenach, the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach, and in the Musikwinkel region around Suhl and Schleiz, where world-famous musical instruments are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active pleasure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pleasure for the senses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thuringian cuisine is a delight. It’s not really a vacation if you haven’t eaten the famous Thuringian Rostbratwurst or the hearty Thuringian dumpling. And after an active day in nature, it’s best to relax in one of the many wellness hotels or spas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
