Frequently Asked Questions

In Thuringia, central Germany. It is a rare inland stop on river itineraries: reached by road as part of an excursion, then explored entirely on foot.
Walk a stretch of the ramparts near the Rabenturm, visit Divi Blasii and then St Mary, wander between the Obermarkt and the Untermarkt, and sit at a terrace. The Peasants War museum rounds it out for anyone wanting more depth.
Johann Sebastian Bach was organist at Divi Blasii church from 1707, aged twenty-two. He stayed only a year, long enough to compose some memorable pages. Concerts regularly revive his time there.
Yes. The town keeps nearly 2.7 kilometres of walls, and a stretch can be walked at height near the Rabenturm. Tight red roofs on one side, the gardens along the wall on the other.
Eleven, a striking figure for a town this size. St Mary is the second largest church in Thuringia by dimensions; Divi Blasii holds the memory of Bach.
The preacher of the 1525 Peasants War, who officiated at St Mary church before the revolt was crushed. A museum space there retraces the episode, and the Kornmarkt church houses a museum devoted entirely to the uprising.
One of the last great beech forests in Europe, a World Heritage site about fifteen kilometres away. A canopy walkway lets you walk more than 20 metres above the ground. Allow half a day.
Yes, especially with the Hainich canopy walkway, which children love. In town the route is short but cobbled, and the appeal remains mainly historical.
The euro, and bring cash. In a Thuringian town this size, several bakeries, butchers and small cafés do not take cards.
Not much. German dominates, including in the town-centre shops. Museums provide English material, but a guide makes the day considerably easier.
