Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Frankfurt - Eisenach - Weimar

  Today is the first day of the tour and we will begin it with a drive from Frankfurt to Eisenach, a city located to the Northeast of Frankfurt, between the northern foothills of the Thuringian Forest and the Hainich National Park. The city's history is dominated by the Wartburg Castle, an 11th century Castle, one of the most important buildings of German history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized as an 'Outstanding Monument of the Feudal Period in Central Europe'. We will enjoy a guided tour of the Wartburg Castle - and visit the room where the exiled Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German - only the second translation into a modern language in millennia. Three hundred years before, St. Elizabeth of Hungary spent almost all her life at the Wartburg Castle and was later canonized as a saint by the church for her charitable work. Afterwards, we continue to a cultural treasure, the city of Weimar, where numerous famous persons like Goethe, Schiller, Liszt and Richard Strauss lived and worked. In the evening, our welcome dinner will be served at our hotel. Overnight in Weimar.

We will also visit sights such as the Palace Bellevue, a late-18th Century palace originally built as the summer residence for Prince August Ferdinand of Prussia, the younger brother of King Frederick II of Prussia; currently, the palace is the official residence of the President of Germany. Kaiser-Wilhelm-Memorial Church, an iconic landmark that was destroyed during a bombing raid in 1943 and since then has been retained in its destroyed state as a symbol of the aftermaths of war and the city's resolve to rebuild the city anew. Adjacent to it are the new church building and the bell tower, both magnificent pieces of architecture with exquisite interiors. Checkpoint Charlie, another major sight, is a reminder of the Civil War, when Berlin was divided into two by the Berlin Wall.
