    Worth seeing! The Leuchtenburg lies high above the Saale valley. It grants a wide all-round view from the Harz to the Thuringian Forest. Within its castle walls it houses a museum on the subject of Thuringian porcelain and its 800-year history. The porcelain town of Kahla, which lies at the foot of the castle, impresses with its historic city center.

      A beautiful 🏰 with an interactive museum, the Bridge of Wishes 🍀, and the castle tavern 😋. Events are held here several times a year.
      The hiking trails around the 🏰 are simply stunning and offer magnificent views 😍.

        With its almost completely preserved structure of double walls, moats and defensive towers, it is one of the most fascinating hilltop castles in Germany and rightly bears the sonorous nickname "Queen of the Saale".
