Wartburg Castle: Germany’s Legendary Hilltop Fortress

#postandearn 📍 Address: Wartburg Castle, 99817 Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany Wartburg Castle majestically crowns a 410 m hill overlooking Eisenach. Built around 1067, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site with centuries of medieval architecture, sweeping views, and a storied past—from housing Saint Elisabeth of Hungary to sheltering Martin Luther as he translated the New Testament into German. ✨ Tips: • Plan 2–3 hours to explore the cliff-top grounds, two courtyards, and richly decorated halls • Visit Luther’s Room (Lutherstube), where he worked in hiding—accessible via guided tour • Climb the battlements for sweeping panoramas of Eisenach and the forests below • Don’t miss the Festival Hall, renowned for its acoustics, now used for operas and events • Arrive early or late to avoid crowds—consider a donkey or shuttle ride up the hill if needed #wartburgcastle #eisenach #medievalgermany #unescoworldheritage #martinluther #saintelisabeth #castleviews #germanhistory #feudalarchitecture #travelgermany#trip #familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks
