The Hildburghausen Region was the first I visited in 2004 because my son just moved his company from the Munich area to Thuringia. Naturally, I stayed most the time in his place for cost saving reasons and to get a first hand introduction to this new state of the Federal Republic of Germany.
My son was an excellent guide and I immediately liked it here. The world famous Thuringian Forest, partly snow covered, little villages - many of them with beautifully renovated houses and local restaurants with home cooked meals convinced me that he did the right choice in moving his company for speciality lubricants to this region.

Celts did a similar move as my son to this region about 2500 years ago. Later Germanic tribes took over which lost power to Franconians and Saxonians.
If you are interested in more historical details just ask for sources in any tourist information.

Kloster Veßra, Thuringia, Germany
Everywhere restaurants and small hotels

Please be warned - many restaurants are not open all day long. I already raised my complaints about that. Not enough business should not be a reason to keep a privately owned business closed. I also recommend to enjoy a real "continental breakfast" in your hotel or guest house (Gasthaus). Otherwise you may stay hungry until noon on certain days. Carry a dictionary with you if you do not understand German. Most people in Thuringia had to learn Russian but not English!

Food stand in Thuringia
Enjoy Thuringian fast food if you are in a hurry

You will find these kind of food stands almost everywhere.
We stopped also occasionally and had a fast meal. On some we saw people coming with the newest BMW's and others with bicycles to share the same food.
Don't be afraid to try something! A Thuringian Bratwurst is normally much better than a hot dog and chicken is also always a treat.
Also East European specialities are offered very often. Enjoy a coke without ice! Don't ask me why most Europeans like it that way - but they do also not understand why we want to have our glass filled up with ice cubes. Try mineral water I got addicted to that.

Bad  Colberg, spa
Great spas are an attraction at any time

I am sure that you will be amazed about state-of-the-art places like the spa in little Bad Colberg or hidden treasures in one of the museums or castles.
We can not show everything in our web site, especially not in the first issue which was created in winter.
Ask for printed information - unfortunately most of them are only available in German. Be adventurous and try to talk to people. It can be great fun and something which makes you laugh about for many years.

Hildburghausen, surroundings
Hiking and walking is almost everywhere a pleasure

Spend an afternoon at "Kloster Veßra". Visit the heritage buildings which have been moved to this place to give you an impression how people in this area lived in the past. Check our web site for more details. Ask any tourism office for cncerts. If you love classical music you may have found the right place.

Kloster Veßra, an old abbey surrounded by heritage buildings from this area

Visit the Bertholdsburg in Schleusingen and browse through the museum. It is really a surprise what kind of treasures you will find there. Our web site gives you a rough overview.
"Veste Heldburg", local museums, a trout farm are other great places for sightseeing. Check for events such as that one which we experienced at father's day!

The museum in the Bertholdsburg can keep you busy for a long time
