The Veste Wachsenburg, often simply called Wachsenburg, is a medieval hilltop castle belonging to the Drei Gleichen in the area of Holzhausen, a district of the Amt Wachsenburg municipality in the Ilm district in Thuringia. In the course of its history, the castle has changed hands frequently, been destroyed and frequently rebuilt and expanded: especially from 1900 to 1913 to house the extensive Wachsenburg collections on local and military history. The latter was lost in 1946 and the local museum had to close in 1962. Today, the Wachsenburg serves as a tourist restaurant, as it has long done, and has been a hotel since 1966, and it houses a small, privately run museum. Admission now costs €5 per person.

Gleichen Castle is a medieval castle ruin in Thuringia near Gotha. It is part of the Drei Gleichen castle ensemble and today belongs to the Thuringian Castles and Gardens Foundation.

The fortress was built in the middle of the 10th century as a fort-like structure on the 421 m high Wassenberg. As a result, it changed owners frequently. At the end of the 15th century, the castle began to decay. From 1651, the Duke of Gotha, Ernst the Pious, had it rebuilt and its water supply secured by a 93 m deep well. In 1859, the castle's military status was lifted and it was opened to visitors. The most striking building in the Wachsenburg is the Hohenlohe Tower, which can be seen from afar and was built by the Wachsenburg Association in 1905. From 1964 to 1969, the fortress was restored and a hotel was set up. Since 2001, it has been privately owned and is operated as a hotel with restaurants and a museum. The Wachsenburg fortress is just under 5 km from the neighboring Mühlburg in Mühlberg. Source: https://www.tourismus-thueringer-wald.de/burgen-und-schloesser/veste-growingburg-holzhausen

I was a little early... Wachsenburg Castle is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. I visited several times as a child and know the fortress as a beautifully restored and diligently managed attraction. For those who don't want to or can't walk, there's a parking lot below the walls.

The castle complex, part of the "Drei Gleichen" (Three Gleichen) range, can be reached via the Schlossleite (castle ladder), among other routes. Once at the top, it offers a view over the charming village of Mühlberg.

A historical castle complex with a small museum, which was first mentioned in a document in 1089.

The Mühlburg is open from March to October: Daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday/Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is €2.50
