Another interesting visit in Erfurt is the Natural History Museum where the visitor will experience a fascinating journey through the origins and history of Thuringia.

The castle of Friedrichstein towers over the town of Gotha and in the castle church the visitor to the Thuringia Basin can admire the coffins of the ruling family of Thuringia. The castle museum has a large collection of medieval art and artefacts of which the most famous is the „Gotha Lovers“ from 1480. Bad Langensalza also has many hotels as a spa town and many protected buildings. If you stay in the Thurigian Basin then it is worth taking the time to visit the 912 meter high Großer Inselsberg which offers a wonderful view over the surrounding area and its hotels.
