Just 20 kilometers away from the Thuringian capital Erfurt there is the oldest City of middle Germany, called Arnstadt, also known as the Gate to the Thuringian Forest. This is the right place for people interested in culture, relaxation, nature and sports.

Who does not want to explore Arnstadt on its own should take part in a guided tour (from April till September). It’s definitely worth it!

Just one step away from your door there is the landmark for the region, the legendary “Drei Gleichen”. One can hike and explore but it will take an entire day.

After going down we advise you to have a nice Thuringian barbecue.
