Suhl
Eingebettet in die romantische Bergwelt des Thüringer Waldes, liegt in einem Tal die Stadt Suhl. Der staatlich anerkannte Erholungsort ist bekannt für seine hundertjährige Tradition des Bergbaus, des Fahrzeugbaus und der Herstellung von Jagd- und Sportwaffen. Von hier habt ihr etliche Möglichkeiten für Abstecher in die Umgebung.
Art and culture
Pure cultural enjoyment! From Suhl, you can take a half-hour train journey to Meiningen. In addition to the theatre (museum) or Elisabethenburg Castle, there is plenty to discover in the town. The Natural History Museum at Bertholdsburg Castle in the southern Thuringian town of Schleusingen is also well worth a visit and can be reached quickly in just under 35 minutes by car. Eisfeld Castle is located in Eisfeld, a small town on the Thuringian border with Bavaria and around an hour's journey from Suhl by bus (lines 200 & 205). The Eisfeld Museum houses an exhibition on the town's history and regional folklore, the Otto Ludwig Poetry Memorial and the Museum of the Inner German Border Eisfeld - Rottenbach.
