Land From castle to castle through legendary land

The Hainichlandweg and the quality hiking trail Leine-Werra are its companions. Grandiose views, enchanting landscapes, castles, monasteries and palaces lie directly along the trail or in its vicinity. The Werra-Burgen-Steig is suitable for long and short tours in all seasons.
