Thurinigian Vogtland in Deutschland

Between Altenburg and Zeulenroda, Bad Kostritz and Greiz, in the Thuringian Vogtland you find many different kinds of landscape

Just like the forested valleys of the Vogtland, the meadows in the hilly country round Altenburg and Schmölln are an invitation to take long walks.

Just as colourful and varied as the landscape are the culture and history of the region, that has been shaped by the princes and dukes of Sachsen-Altenburg. So at every turn you come across testimony to their passion for building, the perfect example of seeking prestige in an age when Germany consisted of a myriad of small states.

Today, castles, monasteries, churches and museums invite you to delve further than just into local history.
