Schmalkalden

Schmalkalden is located on the sunny side of the Thuringian Forest and is a lovely and nearly restored half-timbered town, which today is also a university town - and a destination for historical hitchhikers, art lovers and of course those who appreciate beautiful nature and the many active possibilities under the open sky.

The old town of Schmalkalden is a valuable testimony to central European town planning and more than 1000 years of architecture and cultural history await visitors. Explore the small alleys and enjoy the beautiful and well-maintained half-timbered houses and old stone arches. The Reformation has also left its mark on the city, and the late Gothic church of St. Stephen is one of the most important examples. George is a shining example. Wilhelmsburg Castle is also a gem of a Renaissance building, its imposing towers proudly marking its presence in the charming and picturesque city.
