Mountain teak bridge, arched gate, castle front yard with cave sky, overlooking ancient castles, ancient manor, tower, city walls, pool, promenade, old wooden houses. Climbing up the tower, the scenery of Thuringia Forest is panoramic.
The scenery on Wartburg Mountain is very good, overlooking the whole city of Eisenach, or you can look at Burschenscaftsdenkmal from a distance. The museum in the castle requires tickets and you can not see it. Parking for 5 euros, or you can only park under the mountain, about 20 minutes to climb up the mountain.
Participated in a guided tour, but unfortunately it was German, basically I couldn't understand it, I could only watch the introduction. The entire castle fortress is small and exquisite. There is also a Roman bath in the yard! There is a room in the castle fully displaying mosaic art, which can be seen deeply affected by Rome and Italy.
Wartburg attractions are good, 1:30 there is an English tour guide introduction, about 1 hour to visit; the world cultural heritage is worth a visit; parking lot ️ there is a free bus back to the train station and Karl Square.
World Heritage Site, Walter Fort is built on the hillside, boasting a medieval Roman architecture. It takes about 20 minutes to walk up the parking lot under the mountain, and there is a not-so-steep stairway. On the road, you can vaguely see the ancient castle in the distance, attracting you to the top of the mountain, the mountain is beautiful natural beauty, and the mountain is more beautiful.
