A lovely restaurant set on spacious grounds. The tower can be climbed, and from here you can also access the high street. 👍🏻

Landsberg Castle could certainly do more than just decay. It's a shame about this magnificent building.

A building worth seeing and impressive from the outside.

The hunting lodge was built from a former glassworks and was completed in 1595. It initially belonged to the County of Henneberg, and later to the Duke of Saxony-Eisenach. The first residents settled in front of the castle in 1693, and founded the town of Zillbach. The most famous Zillbacher was Heinrich Cotta, who was born in a nearby forester's house and ran a forestry institute in the castle. Cotta is considered the founder of modern forestry science. When we read about things like "forest conversion" today, it is due to his research and teachings. The "coastal forest" did not exist before either. So today's sustainable management of the forests can be traced back to his teachings.

Maienluft Castle must have been built before 1150 and was owned by the Knights of Wasungen. Around 1500, the castle lost its military significance and became an agricultural domain. The name Maienluft first appeared at this time. Today, there is a hotel here. Attention: The castle grounds can only be entered during opening hours. Contrary to the warning on the access road that there is a barrier with no turning possibility, you can drive up and there is even a parking space for hikers!

Nice place to stay for a short while.

The Zillbach hunting lodge, a former building of the Grand Dukes of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, impressively characterizes the village.

The neo-Gothic building, built between 1836 and 1840, was built during the period of European castle romanticism, the most famous examples of which include Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenzollern Castle. Other sources of inspiration for the building, however, came from England.
