Schleusingen

Built around the medieval Bertholdsburg fortress, Schleusingen grew into a small Thuringian town on the Nahe River, south of the Thuringian Forest. The castle, first documented in the 13th century, was long associated with the counts of Henneberg and now houses the Naturhistorisches Museum Schloss Bertholdsburg. Its compact centre retains the scale of a former administrative town, while wooded ridges and valleys begin close by. Schleusingen also lies near the Rennsteig, Germany’s celebrated long-distance ridge trail across the Thuringian Forest.
