Eisenach. Wartburg Castle

Wartburg Castle towers in the mountains of the Thuringian Forest. It was built at the beginning of the last millennium, and every family of the Ludowinger dynasty tried to bring something new into the structure. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, many buildings of the castle were burned by lightning. Since the 1950s, continuous restoration work has been underway to regain the former greatness of the Wartburg. The hiding from persecution of famous reformer, Martin Luther, is considered to be a significant event in the history of the castle. In Wartburg, he translated the New Testament into German, and his work is now known as the Bible of Luther.

The camera is located at Berghotel. It has a unique location, as the building is almost completely surrounded by dense thickets of trees and, only a small road by which guests come here, connects Berghotel with the city.

There are also several local attractions near the hotel. For example, Burschenschaftsdenkmal, a memorial dedicated to the events of the Franco-German war of 1870-1871. The monument is made in the form of the Capitol.
