    Historic castle, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Well-preserved courtyard and rooms with a very informative and interesting story about Junker Jörg. Beautiful view of the Thuringian Forest and the Hainich primeval forest, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    Elisabeth of Thuringia, who was later canonized, lived on the Wartburg from 1211 to 1227. In 1521/22 the reformer Martin Luther hid here as “Junker Jörg” and during this time he translated the New Testament of the Bible (“September Testament”) into German in just eleven weeks.
