Transfer to the right. Exit is great, but re-entry is a bit more challenging.

A beautiful 🏰 with an interactive museum, the Bridge of Wishes 🍀, and the castle tavern 😋. Events are held here several times a year. The hiking trails around the 🏰 are simply stunning and offer magnificent views 😍.

With its almost completely preserved structure of double walls, moats and defensive towers, it is one of the most fascinating hilltop castles in Germany and rightly bears the sonorous nickname "Queen of the Saale".

The half-timbered castle was built in 1917 by Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Altenburg. It not only served as a hunting lodge, but is also said to have served as a pleasure palace for his numerous amorous adventures.

The Leuchtenburg Porcelain Worlds are located on 3,000 m2 and lead through seven worlds of experience. Particularly noteworthy are the world's largest porcelain vase at 8 meters high and the world's smallest teapot at 3x3x4 mm, the bridge of wishes where broken pieces bring good luck and the world's only porcelain church. There is also a special exhibition on porcelain design on the top floor of the Porcelain Worlds.
