The Wartburg Region, Thuringia, Germany - tourism, travel

Map of the Wartburg Region ("Wartburgkreis"):  Draft for proofreading I believed that Eisenach with the world famous Wartburg is part of this region. No, it is not. When I traveled through this area it was winter and the sky was overcast. This are no good conditions for making attractive photos. Through Internet I got in contact with Dr. Uwe Herzog. His web sites showed me thins which I will visit the next time and the images showed Thuringia with sun shine and blue sky. He gave me the permission to use his images. I was shocked to hear that he passed away shortly after we had e-mail contact.  Narrow and winding roads are typical, as shown here in Kaltennordheim Thanks to Dr. Uwe Herzog for the picture When you travel, don't get in a rush. Stop in little villages to stretch your legs. Walk for half an hour. Take pictures, go in a "Konditorei" (coffee shop) or a bakery and enjoy some pastry or a fresh roll or pretzel with coffee or tea. Watch the local people. You must not spend lots of money to have a nice break. Don't get scarred of parking meters. They take money as anywhere in the world. Use the parking disk which should be in your rental car if you see the respective signs.  Stop and relax in little villages as her in Kaltennordheim Thanks to Dr. Uwe Herzog for the picture Check for activities, like taking a ride with an antique train. We did this in other countries too and it is always fun.  Always something to remember Thanks to Dr. Uwe Herzog for the picture
 The inside of the church in Dermbach Thanks to Dr. Uwe Herzog for the picture Certainly, I will include the "Krayenberg" into my next travel plan. I like the look of the restaurant below and certainly the ruins of an old castle with the name of "Krayenburg" will catch my attention.  The "Krayenberg", close to Tiefenort Thanks to Dr. Uwe Herzog for the picture For our visit of the memorial place "Point Alpha" we had to pass through the Rhön another forested area which Thuringia shares with Bavaria and Hesse. We were so fascinated that we decided to spend more time her when we come back.  In the "Rhön" In May and at the beginning of June you can see numerous fields with bright yellow flowers. These are rape fields. The oil from the plants was always used for cooking. Now also bio diesel is made of it. Diesel cars are very popular in Europe because of lower fuel prices and a lower fuel consumption. The can compete against hybrids for a much better price and you must not replace expensive battery packages. So far no company combined both techniques - not even Toyota who always claimed that nothing is impossible.  One of the many rape fields |
