Walking Around Eisenach 2010This tour is not described in our brochure | |
| |
|
Eisenach grew up around the castle of the Wartburg, the
castle that to the Germans themselves most treasure.
The historical associations of this amazing castle, particularly
Luther's translation of the bible and the story of Tannhäser,
are very rich. Eisenach is also the birthplace of JS Bach,
and a mecca for music lovers. On account of the number of ancient monuments, including both the bach House and the Luther House, as well as the Wartburg, a holiday in Eisenach is unique in the way it combines historical sites with wonderful walking. The town itself is quite small, but there are always plenty of things to do here. |
