May 4, 2025,Stadtrundgang in Eisenach
Sunday in Eisenach. Before leaving, we treated ourselves to a guided city tour. It's largely barrier-free. On a nearly 2.5km walk through the city, you learn and see many new things, but also familiar sights. Of course, the Luther House and the Bach House are included. But also the Nikolaitor Gate and lots and lots of half-timbered houses. Particularly interesting …

In the footsteps of Martin Luther.
He lived in Eisenach for 4 years and completed the Latin studies he had started in Magdeburg.


Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach.

Before we start today on the oldest long-distance hiking trail in Germany, we couldn't resist a short city walk through Eisenach. The city definitely makes you want more. A weekend trip with a visit to the Wartburg seems to be obligatory. 😁

This evening, a short city tour through Eisenach in the evening was on the agenda. Unfortunately, there is no time outside of work commitments to visit the Wartburg or other sights during the day. Good night @all.

After the Wartburg, Eisenach was also "pulled in". The combination is good because both sources of information complement each other. It was the second tour here for me. Always interesting.
Weather was stable and after 2 hours we went back to Ilmtown...
