The truth is that a lot of venerable Thuringia charm and culture resides smack in the heart of the Altenburger Land capital. The state, famous as the “Green Heart of Germany”, has a surfeit of national parks and forest reserves, all of which reside on Altenburg’s doorstep.

The city’s historic brewery produces some of the best suds in Germany and has the gold medals to show for it.

A notable lack of tourists means more glühwein and stollen for you.
