I visited Wartburg Castle for the first time. The parking lot is only about 5 minutes walk away from the entrance below the castle. 5€ day ticket. Admission to the Castle Museum: 12€ for adults. The courtyard of the castle can be visited without a ticket. Masks are mandatory within the museum. The tour was informative and really very nicely designed. Very well maintained interiors and lots of descriptions. I've read every single sign! Unfortunately, there was generally little information. The history of the castle is reproduced lifelessly and there is hardly any emotional contact with these magnificent rooms. In addition, the employees on site were mostly unfriendly or arrogant. Once I was hit very unkindly from behind, I should not touch the walls, although obviously I did not intend to do so and even had my hands in my pockets. An absolute impudence! In addition, I was greeted unfriendly directly at the entrance, during my visit and even at the museum shop in the end. Wow! I have rarely experienced anything like this. It seems as if the employees at the Wartburg are frustrated with their workplace. There is also a photo ban throughout the museum and the employees run around the visitors like hyenas to control everyone, not to use their mobile phones. Very unacceptable. I am in many exhibitions, but this experience at the Wartburg was unique. I was also disappointed that Martin Luther's time at the Wartburg is told in a completely mindless way. There is hardly any information about his experiences there and also an extensive presentation of the ridiculous situation with the inkwell and devil. The content design really leaves much to be desired. 3 Stars for the building and beautiful restoration and art works.

Yup. Gotta go here. It's even worth the hike up the hill, if you're in shape. There area several good nature trails including a Luther heritage trail. The castle tour is well worth the price. Great info. Beautiful rooms. The castle has great views, an okay cafe and, of course, the Luther history going for it.

A nice castle with rich history streching from its construction in 1067 to 1999, when it was officially made a UNESCO world heritage site. Tour was highly interesting, and the castle is middle-sized but there is much to see. This is the castle where Martin Luther translated the new testament from Greek to German in 1521. Astounding view from the south tower over the valley at a height of 500 meters(1600 feet). Inner decoration is nice as well, detailed mosiacs and late Romanesque architecture are quite impactful. This is the ideal castle.

The Castle's location is incredible! Great view of some parts of the city at the entrance of the Castle! The little hike up to the entrance gives one an opportunity to work one's heart. Attending staff are quite pleasant. The Castle is very well maintained. Guided tour highly recommended for knowledge purpose!

Well it has to be a five star. Magic place ok n the top of a hill. Some bits very old but a lot is newer. Don't let that spoil you experience. Go on the tour, well worth the money. English tour at 13.30

It was one of the best castles I have visited. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds. You can buy tickets online to avoid them selling out during peak tourist season, but you can also buy them on site. The ticket office is past the drawbridge but before the second gate area. Remember to buy a photo pass with your ticket if you want to take photos during the tour.

if you want to enter inside of castle and museum, you should buy ticket online from website in advance. Then you can have nice experience in the castle. you need 20 mins walk from car parking btw due to a steep slope, so plan your travel schedule including this.

Interesting castle to visit, English tour only at 1.30pm but you can scan a downloadable audio guide(Q- code on your ticket) and join a German tour and listen on your phone. Ear phones recommend or low volume with phone to your ear.

Well preserved castle 🏰 Amazing views and a lot of places to set and chill 🌳the hike trails are super fun and when reaching the castle a lot of things to see and to enjoy and it's worth to visit the museum as well.

Awesome. They have an English tour guide but check the time. She is softly spoken but is quite knowledgeabl. I went today 8th of January and it was quite cold minus 5 with a little biit of snow. But the interior is nice and warm. The cafe also has an english waitress. Might be quite packed in peak periods.

You could only visit the castle's museum and inside with a guide tour and I prefer to check those out on my own. It was a plus point though that the castle itself had a description in several languages. The most disappointing was that you had to pay to go up to the smaller tower after you've had paid your ticket. Although the castle itself was truly mesmerising and beautiful.

(Translated by Google) A guided tour through the old walls, which does not take up much time, is highly recommended. Overall, my expectation (triggered by various TV reports) was significantly higher, which is why I unfortunately only give 4 stars here. Nice walks in the area! (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert ist bei Besuch eine Führung durch die alten Gemäuer, die nicht viel Zeit in Anspruch nimmt. Insgesamt lag meine Erwartung (ausgelöst durch diverse Fernsehberichte) jedoch deutlich höher, weshalb ich hier leider nur 4 Sterne vergebe. Schöne Wanderungen in der Umgebung!

(Translated by Google) Wait mountain you should carry a castle ........ and tourists and friends and happiness. Great castle, great service in the hotel, great landscape. (Original) Warte Berg du sollst eine Burg tragen........und Touris und Freunde und Glück. Super Burg, super Service im Hotel, super Landschaft.

(Translated by Google) The Wartburg was the meeting point of the fraternities in 1817. Martin Luther translated the Bible here when he was banned from the Reich as Junker Jörg. From the Wartburg you have an impressive view of the fraternity monument. Saint Elisabeth worked here and lived in the Wartburg. She became known through the rose miracle. The world-famous armory was brought abroad as spoils of war. (Original) Die Wartburg war Treffpunkt der Burschenschaften im Jahre 1817. Martin Luther übersetzte hier die Bibel, als er als Junker Jörg mit der Reichsacht belegt war. Von der Wartburg hat man einen eindrucksvollen Blick zum Burschenschaftsdenkmal. Die Heilige Elisabeth wirkte hier und wohnte auf der Wartburg. Bekannt wurde Sie durch das Rosenwunder. Die weltweit bekannte Rüstkammer wurde als Kriegsbeute außer Landes verbracht.

So many castles in this country and my castle hopping list is rather long and getting longer, yet so little time😂. There is something mystical and powerful about castles and I am fascinated by the rich history. This is the best preserved Romanesque castle. To avoid crowds, we travelled to the castle in the morning and on a weekday. Parking:€5 flat rate. Depending on your fitness level, it takes 10 mins or so to walk up as any self-respecting medieval castle is built perched on a hill and surrounded by fairytale- like woodlands. Allow at least half a day to visit. It is extra €2 if you intend to take any photos indoors, the cashier will hand you a sticker. Admission to the castle courtyard is free of charge, unfortunately no guided tours can be carried out at the moment. By car, follow the street signs for Wartburg that take travelers from the A4 Autobahn off at the "Eisenach-Ost" exit. Drive through the town onto Wartburgallee and follow the winding road off the B19 up to the castle. This place is worth a visit and we are already planning another trip to discover the Thüringer Wald soon.

(Translated by Google) One of the famous castles in Germany and very well preserved. You can park below the castle and get to the castle either on foot or with a shuttle (for a fee). The visit is very interesting, as many historically significant events happened at the castle. On the one hand, of course, the time when Luther translated the Bible as Junker Jörg, but also the Singers' War. A visit is definitely highly recommended. (Original) Eine der bekannteten Burgen in Deutschland und sehr gut erhalten. Man kann unterhalb der Burg parken und entweder zu Fuß oder mit einem Shuttle (gegen Bezahlung) zur Burg gelangen. Die Besichtigung ist sehr interessant, auf der Burg sind ja auch viele historisch bedeutende Geschehnisse passiert. Zum einen natürlich die Zeit, in der Luther als Junker Jörg die Bibel übersetzt hat, aber auch der Sängerkrieg. Eine Besichtigung ist auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert.

Fabulous mountain top situation. They keep improving the experience. The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, easy to understand, spoke loudly. Amazing Castle history with the Martin Luther connection at the end.

(Translated by Google) It HAS BEEN very nice here, unfortunately no Christmas market. I was there two years ago (Original) Hier ist es sehr schön GEWESEN leider kein Weihnachtsmarkt. Vor zwei Jahren war ich da

Beautiful castle that has a great deal of history and consideration. I have visited about half a dozen castles in the UK but this by far exceeds them in its restoration quality as well as it's views. The information is in German and English, there are restaurants on site and they have materials in many languages for reading about the castle (although again only German and English in the exhibitions).

Welcome to Wartburg Castle! According to legend, the castle's origins date back to 1067. The surviving main castle building, the 12th century palas (great hall), a gem of late Romanesque architecture, still bears traces of its former glory. As the main seat of the landgraves, the castle was a pre-eminent centre of artistic endeavour where all of the fine arts were celebrated. It once echoed to the songs of Walther von der Vogelweide and inspired a number of epic poems by Wolfram von Eschenbach. This was the setting of the fabled Battle of the Bards, a tale immortalised in Richard Wagner's opera Tannhäuser. Wartburg Castle was also the home of Saint Elisabeth, still revered to this day, and it provided a refuge for the exiled Martin Luther, who translated the New Testament into German here. The Wartburg Festival of 1817, organised by the student fraternities, celebrated the achievements of Luther, the Reformation and the Battle of Leipzig. It was the first popular declaration of sentiment for a unified and independent nation state. Wartburg Castle was the setting for all of these crucial points in German history – as a mighty fortress and splendid residence and as a place of safety, shelter and retreat for its inhabitants through centuries past. Throughout its history the castle has always remained relevant. However, the buildings were only renovated and redecorated in the 19th century, when the medieval architecture was restored and supplemented in parts by new additions. The outstanding example illustrating the concept of art in the 19th century is without doubt the ceremonial hall in the main castle building (palas), which now provides an amazing backdrop for the famous Wartburg concerts during the summer season as well as a number of other events. The Wartburg Castle art collection with its treasures spanning eight centuries was created at the recommendation of Goethe nearly 200 years ago. On a guided tour of the castle's rooms or a visit to the museum – with its famous paintings by Lucas Cranach, priceless tapestries and furniture, Tilman Riemenschneider sculptures and Renaissance arts and crafts – you are surrounded at every step by history, culture and the arts. The many events, from the Summer Nights festival to theatre and the historical Christmas market, attract visitors from around the world and bring the ancient walls to life.

A beautiful castle which is UNESCO world heritage site. There are mindblowing mosaic paintings of St. Elizabeth. It is also the place where Martin Luther translated Bible to German language. I was so mesmarised to see such a magnificent castle. A must visit castle in Germany.!!

I recommend the guided tour of the castle. It is well worth it. The guide we had was excellent. There are good views to be had from the Panoramaweg.

(Translated by Google) Was on the Wartburg today, and can assure you that a visit will be absolutely worth it, very fantastic view. (Original) War heute auf der Wartburg, und kann ihnen versichern das sich ein Besuch absolut lohnen wird, sehr traumhafte Aussicht.

Amazing place, where you can relax after long business day. Walking distance from Eisenach downtown and the best time for visit after all tourists are gone after 5PM. Only in that time you will enjoy no rush, stress crowds...so simply you will feel atmosphere of this wonderful place. Regular place for relax👍

this castle has a long history and has experienced many renovations. Some room has been luxuriously refurnished. It is located high on a hill. Martin Luther has translated the germany Bible here. Goethe has also visited here. Better take the guiding tour, it is about an hour, and the guide speak perfect english.

Amazing view, but the excursion is very expensive and not worth the money

It's a very nice castle. The tour was interesting and gave a good insight into the castle's history.

(Translated by Google) really wonderful fairytale place (Original) wirklich wundervoller märchenhafter Ort

Nice place

Nice place to visit with its history of King Martin Luther’ s study room where he translated the latin bible into German. Its almost 3-4 km hike from drachenschlutz with beautiful view!

Amazing Castle, Nice place to spend time with Family and Friends ... Especially the audio guide, its free and any one use it

Very good view and red hot wine! I would recommend walking if you have 30 min tk spear! (per direction) Tge wood walking trail is like fairytale especially in autumn with all shades of orrange and yellow!

It was a nice trip. Don't pay for the shuttle bus service unless You're disabled or so old to walk. Parking is not so far from the castle.

So much well preserved history. Its so much fun and an absolutely beautiful view.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view (Original) Manzarası güzel

The tour of this castle was really well done, and the castle itself is really cool and has quite a bit of intricate history surrounding it, it's architecture, and the people who lived there.

Fascinating and colorful. Definitely worth the long hike since I elected to walk instead of taking the tram.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful historic castle near Eisenach. Absolutely worth seeing. Lots of hiking trails around. (Original) Sehr schöne geschichtsträchtige Burg bei Eisenach. Absolut sehenswert. Viele Wanderwege rund herum.

Parking is 5€. The view is beautiful. To go up the tower you have to pay another euro. The beer garden is quite nice.

If I could only give it 10 stars, this castle absolutely deserves it. We had issues getting the English translation to work but I can’t penalize the castle for that. Great condition and care go into this place.

(Translated by Google) Historic old walls. Always worth a visit. Great view. Simply home. (Original) Historische alte Gemäuer. Immer wieder einen Besuch wert. Toller Ausblick. Einfach Heimat.

A beautiful castle reconstructed in the 19th century with many preserved Romanesque elements, connected to St. Elizabeth of Thuringia and Martin Luther. It definitely deserves to be listed in UNESCO. Guided tour only. Parking lot under the castle, approx. 10 minute of walk uphill, possibility to use paid shuttle service. Quite a lot of people even on a working day

(Translated by Google) Wartburg World Heritage Site 🏰 I have already visited the castle several times and have always been impressed by this imposing structure! (Original) Weltkulturerbe Wartburg 🏰 Ich habe die Burg bereits mehrfach besucht und war jedes Mal von diesem imposanten Bauwerk begeistert!

Beautiful castle and the tour was Great! Highly recommend if you have time

A ton of history, lots of legends and a beautiful castle with great views of the surroundings. Germany at it’s best!

By far one of the best castles and collectioms i've visited in Germany! I advise to buy a ticket for the indoors exhibition and come one or two hours earlier to enjoy the outdoor area.

Very nice castle to visit, tours are exceptional as well and also one tour in English at 1.30 in the afternoon. Would recommend this for a day trip.

Very beautiful and aesthetic. Entrance was 8 euros for students which is a little bit overpriced.

Wartburg Castle is truly a remarkable historical landmark, brimming with rich cultural heritage. The castle's architecture and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and culture lovers alike. The stunning views from the castle offer a glimpse into the past, transporting visitors to a different era. It's an experience that's both educational and awe inspiring.

(Translated by Google) A great castle with a lot of hiking trails. A little adventure for the whole family. (Original) Eine tolle Burg mit sehr vielen Wanderwegen. Für die ganze Familie ein kleines Abenteuer.

(Translated by Google) Quite a beautiful place, now during a pandemic you cannot go inside the castle, but you can walk around the surroundings, a beautiful forest, many picturesque places (Original) Довольно красивое место, сейчас во время пандемии внутрь замка зайти нельзя,но по окрестностям погулять можно,красивый лес,много живописных мест

Sono giunto al castello a piedi dalla vicina Eisenach, al termine di una ripida erta in mezzo al bosco. La fortezza, che appare fin da subito imponente e compatta, è hi situata su una collina dalla quale si gode di un ampio panorama. Costruito nell'anno Mille, nel castello trovò rifugio anche Martin Lutero, che qui visse per quasi 10 mesi.

Loved the castle inside and outside

Beautiful castle. It's easy to find, there is plenty of parking of you get there early. It's a bit of a walk up the mountain, but they offer a shuttle for a little extra charge. Definitely take the guided tour to see more of the inside and get a bit of a history lesson. The tour is available in German and English, but not sure if other languages are available as well.

Great place to visit! Castle is pretty small but very authentic, especially during the Christmas time.

Worth a détour bt very touristy, over restaured, a Disney feeling in a way

Well-preserved castle. The current museum. Stunning landscapes open from the height of the castle. An interesting exposition. Cafe, gift shop. Tickets are sold locally. Below the castle is a large parking lot. But you have to be prepared to climb high enough stairs.

Very very beautiful! 👌The Castle itself can only ben visited with a tourguide for 12 euro but is really worth it! Only downside is the expensive parking lot.

(Translated by Google) A piece of German history, therefore an absolute must! (Original) Ein Stück deutsche Geschichte, daher ein absolutes Muss!

(Translated by Google) Very good (Original) Sehr gut

(Translated by Google) The Wartburg is always worth a trip. In addition to the exhibitions, there is a lot to discover, the charming castle complex invites you to explore, the surrounding forest offers many opportunities for hiking. There are separate parking spaces that are subject to a fee, but beware of the parking spaces, it is still a fairly steep path to the castle, the stairs are closed in winter due to the risk of slipping. (Original) Die Wartburg ist immer eine Reise Wert. Es gibt neben den Ausstellungen viel zu entdecken, die charmante Burganlage lädt zum erkunden ein, der umliegende Wald bietet viele Möglichkeiten zum Wandern. Es gibt eigene gebührenpflichtige Parkplätze, Achtung von den Parkplätzen ist es immer noch ein ziemlich steiler Weg zur Burg, die Treppen sind im Winter wegen rutschgefahr gesperrt.

(Translated by Google) A simple castle that contains small treasures with a significant historical background. The castle not only invites you to take a walk as a landmark, but the view is also very beautiful. Anyone who has enjoyed the castle will be happy to take a long walk through the Drachenschlucht, at the end of the path there is a grilled sausage, really tasty and the Drachenschlucht is worth every meter, great how it is designed. Have fun! It is worth it .. (Original) Eine schlichte Burg die kleine Schätze beinhaltet mit bedeutendem geschichtlichen Hintergrund. Nicht nur als Wahrzeichen lädt die Burg zu einem Spaziergang ein, sondern auch der Ausblick ist sehr schön.

Euch viel Spaß! Es lohnt sich.

(Translated by Google) A worthwhile Aza flight destination with a great view, weather permitting. (Original) Lohnendes Azaflugsziel mit toller Aussicht, bei passendem Wetter.

(Translated by Google) It is a focal point of German history and should be visited for that reason alone. A sight from the outside, the interiors are an absolute must. If you consider that Martin Luther translated the Bible here and everything that changed with it. But that's only one thing you can tell about the Wartburg and you should experience it for yourself. (Original) Sie ist ein Brennpunkt der deutschen Geschichte und sollte allein deswegen schon besichtigt werden. Schon von Aussen eine Sehenswürdigkeit sind die Innenräume ein absolutes Muss. Wenn man bedenkt, dass hier Martin Luther die Bibel uebersetzte und was sich damit alles veränderte. Aber das ist nur Eines, was man über die Wartburg erzählen kann und man sollte sie selbst erleben.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful castle steeped in history. The tour was designed very well and lively. These usually take place every 20 minutes. Parking spaces are signposted and there is also a restaurant. Also suitable for children. (Original) Eine sehr schöne und Geschichtsträchtige Burg. Die Führung wurde sehr gut und lebhaft gestaltet.

(Original) Großartige Burg in wunderschöner Lage. Was von der Autobahn aus imposant aussieht, erweist sich als noch größer. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Hotel gebucht. Der Blick von dort war phänomenal.

(Translated by Google) If you want to play sports. I recommend it to you. The views are beautiful (Original) Si quieres hacer deporte. Te lo recomiendo. Las vistas son hermosas

Great place to see how those hysterical times looked like! Especially to see where Luther lived!!!

Clean and well renovated castle from 11th century. You will get a great insight to the life in the past.

Great views. Easy to walk up to. Highly recommended historic site.

A fantastic (and huge!) castle where Luther once lived for a short time during his exile. But even before Luther's visit this residence was the home of kings and nobelty. One thing that really awed me was the Elisabeth Room (I think) plastered with mosaics from the bottom to the ceiling (sorry no pictures allowed). The walk up to the castle is not something for the weak or old. Luckily there is transferbus driving up and down. Parking is a bit of a nuicance as you're more or less directed to park at the lowest point, then need to walk a good part up... Then again, in the castle you're easily walk around for 2 hours, so that 'little' stroll uphill is just part of the package. Everything is Corona safe (indoors with mask) and you can use an app (luca) to sign-in and sign-out.

You have a beautiful view across Eisenach and the Forest around. It is a wonderful castle

Very nice catle with splendid views and interesting history. It's hugely popular, so try coming early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds

Great place, the castle, the views, its history, exhibited subjects ( there was a very interesting exhibition on Martin Luther). We climbed up from Eisenach, steep hill, but a good exercise. Good place to visit.

Beautifully preserved Castle, with stunning views of surrounding area. I would suggest you take your own drinks with you, as prices in the castle are high.

Beauty
