The appeal of Thuringia as a holiday region lies in its diversity. Here nature and culture are treasured above all else, and the memory of Luther, Bach, Schiller and Goethe is still very much alive. Thuringia, whose regional capital is Erfurt, is situated in the geographical centre of Germany. Visitors can look forward to unwinding in the unspoilt countryside, exploring fascinating castles and palaces, finding rest and relaxation at a spa or wellness hotel, or discovering medieval towns with a varied cultural scene. The Thuringian Forest more than lives up to such expectations, as do Eisenach and Erfurt or any of the multitude of health resorts in the region.

Thuringia's towns and cities are historical gems with links to extremely important historical events and people. Martin Luther, Goethe, Bach and Schiller are just a few of the famous names closely connected with the towns of Erfurt, Jena, Weimar, and Eisenach. Thuringia's towns and cities with their remarkable blend of living history, stunning architecture and top-class cultural attractions are fascinating, all-year-round destinations.

Thuringia is a region of magnificent natural beauty in the heart of Germany. 16,000 kilometres of well-maintained marked trails make Thuringia one of Germany's top destinations for walking enthusiasts. They include the Rennsteig, one of the best-known hill trails in Germany, as well as the Rennstieg trail through Hainich National Park, the Barbarossa Trail in the Kyffhäuser hills and the Thuringia Trail from Altenburg to Creuzburg.
