Eisenach Vacation Guide
Eisenach is a city in Thuringia, Germany. It is situated between the northern foothills of the Thuringian Forest and the Hainich National Park. The history of Eisenach is linked with the Wartburg castle, which was built according to legend in 1067. There were at least three settlements below the castle, that merged to a common city in the second half of the 12th century. This town, Eisenach, was first mentioned in 1180.
Eisenach was the place where Martin Luther lived as a child, although he was not born there, and later for his receiving protection by Frederick the Wise after having been pursued for his religious views. It was while he was staying at Wartburg Castle that he translated the New Testament into German.
The town is famous as the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach as well.
This city is a great destination for history buffs.

After we went to Buchenwald, we headed off to the town of Eisenach. Here we found my favorite restaurant so far, called Das total verrückt Kartoffelhaus. It was SO cool inside, fake trees, antiques everywhere, and the food was delicious! Anyway, the reason we went to the town was to see the old…
