Bad Tabarz: Aussichtsturm Inselsberg
Bad Tabarz occupies the northern foothills of the Thuringian Forest in Thuringia. This health-resort community lies beneath Großer Inselsberg, a prominent summit crossed by the Rennsteig long-distance trail. Wooded slopes descend from the range toward the Thuringian Basin, while the town itself remains relatively compact. Großer Inselsberg is among the best-known summits of the Thuringian Forest, and the Rennsteig links Hörschel with Blankenstein across central Germany. Its summit has long been a destination for excursions and an important reference point in the region’s hiking culture. Bad Tabarz holds official Kneipp spa status, continuing a German tradition that combines therapeutic water treatments with exercise and walking.

Its varied terrain runs from the wooded ridges of the Thuringian Forest to the Saale valley in the east, with the long-distance Rennsteig trail following the forest’s crest. Erfurt, the state capital, preserves a historic centre marked by the cathedral and the Krämerbrücke, a bridge lined with inhabited buildings. Weimar is closely associated with Goethe and Schiller and with the Bauhaus movement, while Wartburg Castle near Eisenach recalls the region’s medieval past.

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.
