Schleusingen
The Thuringian Forest defines the setting of Schleusingen — wooded highlands give this small town in southern Thuringia a compact, sheltered character. The Nahe runs through the town on the forest’s southern side. Bertholdsburg Castle is Schleusingen’s defining monument: the fortified complex was begun in the 13th century and was long linked to the Counts of Henneberg. At its centre, the Marktplatz retains the proportions of a traditional German town square, with an open paved space, mature trees and substantial town houses. Schleusingen brings together a historic civic core and the forested upland landscape that characterises this part of Thuringia.

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.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
