Eisenach is located on the northwestern edge of the Thuringian Forest in the middle of four valleys. Perched high on the mountain above the city is the city's most famous landmark, the historic Wartburg Castle. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Eisenach is the birthplace of the world-famous composer Johann Sebastian Bach. The Bach House commemorates the life and work of the musician. Visitors to the museum can enjoy a music lecture in the house's instrument hall, where music is played live on typical original keyboard instruments. Eisenach offers modern hotels, cozy guesthouses and vacation apartments. If you are looking for something special, then stay at the hotel on the Wartburg - steeped in history and comfortable.
