Wartburg Castle

I visited Wartburg Castle high above Eisenach in the snow of January 2022. It is one of Germany’s most famous castles and one of the most important. 1000 years of German history have left their mark on the castle, which is one of the best-preserved castles of the German Middle Ages. Martin Luther found incognito shelter at the castle in 1521 and translated the New Testament into German here.
