About this tour

A medieval hike through narrow gorges, forests, Germany’s most famous castle.

Experience nature literally first hand and let the walls come ever closer. In the legendary Drachenschlucht (Dragon Gorge) south of Eisenach, the narrowest point on the hiking trail is no wider than 70 cm. Romantics, nature lovers, and geologists alike get their money’s worth on this tour.

The hike leads through the mossy rocks of the Dragon Gorge, scaling up to the Medieval Wartburg Castle and back to the market town of Eisenach, showcasing some of the best countryside Thuringia has to offer. The hiking route is part of the Rennsteig Trail, which is listed by many as one of the best hiking trails in Germany.

It was nothing but everything

It was nothing but everything! I enjoyed this trip more than I ever expected. It was the perfect blend of adventure, cultural exploration, and breathtaking landscapes. And of course, we were lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights every single day of our trip. The road journeys were amazing, and a special thanks to Maddy for being one of us rather than just a guide. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
