St. Kilian Church and Ponds

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful little church, well worth a visit. A chapel, which bore the name of the Frankish apostle Kilian, was already in the early Middle Ages at the beginning of an old forest road that leads to Vesser. The first documentary mention was in 1187 with reference to a small church that was looked after by Veßra Monastery. Source: Wikipedia.

Central Bus Stop Schleusingen

Highlight • Castle

At the confluence of the Erle and the Nahe, in the midst of the medieval small town of Schleusingen, rises the mighty Bertholdsburg Castle. From the 13th century, it served the Counts of Henneberg as their ancestral seat and is the oldest residential castle in Thuringia. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the fortified castle was converted into an early modern palace in the Renaissance style. Today, the castle houses the Natural History Museum. The 40-meter-high main tower offers a picturesque view of the southern foothills of the Thuringian Forest.
