View of Mühlburg and Wachsenburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Drei Gleichen" are not that much alike - the view of the Mühlburg is simply wonderful ... further left to the Wachsenburg.

Gleichen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The ruined castle Gleichen on the southern edge of the Thuringian Basin, together with the Mühlburg and the Wachsenburg, is probably the best-known ensemble of castles in Germany, the Drei Gleichen. The name "equals" is due to the Celtic word "resembling" for rocks or to the topographical similarity of castles on three conical mountains. The transfer of the name to the entire castles has been documented since the 18th century. However, the three plants never shared a common ownership.
Admission: 3.00 € (as of 2018)

I actually wanted to go on a leisurely little hike...
You can park at the Wechmar shooting range and a few meters uphill you can see the beautifully situated reservoir 😊
Then continue uphill and along a great forest path to the canyon - you feel like you're in a fairy tale! fantastic! Next highlight: the 3 castles view 🧐 …
