    From the varied ascent and descent you always have a great view of the castle. But this is where it's particularly impressive. But be careful along the way, there are a few stumbling blocks here

      Who likes castles, likes the Wartburg! Hardly any other castle is so connected with German history. The most famous guests of sleep, since the foundation in 1067 by Ludwig the Springer, were Martin Luther, the holy Elisabeth, Goethe and Wagner.
      The Wartburg has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.

        Directly under the Wartburg, shortly before / after the Wartburg, there is a scenic, delightful piece of path. You have a good view through the trees up to the Wartburg and the path runs straight here and is overgrown with heather, colorful shrubs and bushes.
