Central Bus Stop Schleusingen

Highlight • Castle

At the confluence of the Erle and the Nahe, in the midst of the medieval small town of Schleusingen, rises the mighty Bertholdsburg Castle. From the 13th century, it served the Counts of Henneberg as their ancestral seat and is the oldest residential castle in Thuringia. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the fortified castle was converted into an early modern palace in the Renaissance style. Today, the castle houses the Natural History Museum. The 40-meter-high main tower offers a picturesque view of the southern foothills of the Thuringian Forest.

View of the Ratscher Reservoir from the Heckengereuth rest area

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located directly in front of Heckengereuth, the rest area has been given the name View of the Heckengereuther Meer, as can be read on the bench. This of course refers to the reservoir, which can be seen from here. A rest with a view is therefore possible.

Here too, the former school has been given a sensible new use. Used as a clubhouse, the renovated building is a real eye-catcher.
