Hiking Highlight
The castle ruins of the Mühlburg on the southern edge of the Thuringian Basin, together with the castle ruins in Gleichen and the Wachsenburg, form the probably most famous castle ensemble in Germany, the Drei Gleichen. The name "Gleichen" comes from the Celtic word "like" for rocks or the topographically similar situation of the castles on three cone-shaped mountains. The transfer of the name to the entire castle group has been documented since the 18th century. However, the three systems never had a common owner. Incidentally, the Mühlburg is the oldest castle in Thuringia.
Admission: € 2.00 (as of 2018)

The most unassuming of the three equals has become a highlight in the years following the fall of the Wall. With 2, - € admission for adults and 1, - € for children, it is also very attractive for families.

Visiting the "Drei Gleichen" is always an absolute highlight. I find the Mühlburg very nice because you can also walk around outside. The view from the tower is of course magnificent. You can also sit down in the courtyard, take a break and enjoy the view.

There is a museum from the Middle Ages on the castle grounds
The tower can be climbed during opening times. The other two castles can be seen from here. A fountain is also on the premises.
I can only recommend it to everyone to stop by and go hiking in the area 🚶
