Weißenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Weißenburg is a hilltop castle in the municipality of Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel east of Rudolstadt in Thuringia. It is located very close to a rock face rising up from the Saale. It is believed that the complex was built around 1248 in connection with a division of the Weimar-Orlamünde Count House. Martin Luther and Goethe, among others, resided here. Meanwhile a nice place for a break with gastronomy. Easily accessible by bike.

View of Heidecksburg Castle from Schillershöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schillershöhe is a beautiful lookout point dedicated to Friedrich Schiller. A bust embedded in the rock reminds of the famous poet, on a board there is information about himself. From here you have a magnificent view of Heidecksburg Castle.

View of the Saale Bridge in Saalfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section of the Saale cycle path through Saalfeld is, in my opinion, the most beautiful. There are numerous places for a cozy break, where you can let your eyes wander or just listen to the roar of the Saale.

Saalfeld Town Hall and Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The market square. Its shape, size and rectangular layout go back to Emperor Barbarossa.

The picturesque market square has been the centre of Saalfeld since the town on the Saale was founded. The enormous size, shape and rectangular layout of the market square as well as the width of the street in the centre go back to Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. He had Saalfeld planned as an imperial city around 1180. Important trade routes crossed here. The typical weekly markets are still held today.

Unfortunately, due to two devastating city fires, only a few medieval buildings on the market square remained. The market fountain in front of the town hall was ceremoniously inaugurated on April 17, 1999, in the year of the 1,100th anniversary of the first mention of Saalfeld. It takes the place of an earlier large market fountain that was demolished at the end of the 19th century.
