Classic Thuringian Towns Road Trip
Drive from west to east connecting Wartburg Castle, Gotha, Erfurt, Weimar, and Jena, with very short daily drives.
Thuringia's historic towns are lined up along an east-west axis. The entire route is only about 200 km, meaning you will spend less than an hour driving each day, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing. The route combines the cultural heritage of Luther and Goethe with outdoor stops like the Hainich Canopy Walk and the Buchenwald Memorial. It is perfect for families renting a car or second-time visitors to Germany. The entire route can also be done by train. The trade-off is not going deep into the Thuringian Forest.
