The municipality Mülverstedt lies in the western part of the Thuringian Basins, directly at the foot of the Hainichs. An exact time of origin of the place can not be proven. However, excavations have shown that people lived in this area already in the early Stone Age.

One of the most famous houses of the village is the former Freigut. In the 18th century it belonged to the landed gentry family von Tristan and was taken over by the von Hopffgarten family around 1760. After an eventful history, today it houses as a cultural sight a unique Costume collection. The evangelic village church St. Martin stands on the site of a predecessor church, of which only the tower from 1698 is preserved. The nave dates back to 1703 and its present appearance is marked by many reconstructions in the past. A lively club life is formed by the Whitsun and fair association, church choir, carnival association, fire department, local history and culture association, youth club, motor sports club, shooting club and sports club.

Mülverstedt is a good starting point for hiking and biking tours in the distinctive nature paradise UNESCO Hainich National Park. Parts of the Mülverstedt parish are located in the national park. Also the so-called Ihlefeld, a small former settlement on the ridge of the Hainich, is easy to reach from the village. The Bed oak, the Ihlefelder Cross, the Reckenbühl and the Iron hand are popular hiking destinations and well-known sights in the Ihlefeld. The Bailiwick municipality with the Center Germanys and the Sacrificial Bog are just as easily accessible from Mülverstedt on foot or by bicycle.
