    From here, the bailiffs of Weida appointed by the emperor administered the Germanic newly settled area around the year 1000. This is how the Vogtland got its name. Before that, Slavic tribes settled in the region. The castle still shows its Romanesque origins today - the keep is particularly noteworthy - even if it was rebuilt many times and now looks more like a Renaissance castle.

    The Osterburg is located on a mountain in the center of the town of Weida in the Thuringian district of Greiz.

    Nordic walking

    The Easter Castle 🏰 in Weida is highly recommended 🤩
    A walk with a climb is definitely worth it, as you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view 😊.
    The castle 🏰 is especially beautifully decorated at Easter.
