Thuringia Essentials

Thuringia preserves Germany's architectural and political history through its dense concentration of medieval structures and 20th-century sites. This collection features the Gothic Erfurt Cathedral and the neighboring St. Severi church, alongside the Buchenwald Memorial. It highlights the region's defensive heritage via the oldest of the Drei Gleichen ruins and hilltop fortresses like Leuchtenburg. Notable landmarks also include the Cold War-era border village of Mödlareuth and the Baroque elegance of Schloss Molsdorf.
