Reichstädt is known for its historic buildings from the 18th century, which characterise the townscape. An absolute highlight is Greiz Castle, which sits majestically on a hill and offers a fantastic view over the town. The Greiz Park with its botanical garden and the zoo are also popular tourist attractions.
There are also many cultural highlights to discover in Reichstädt: The summer palace houses a museum on the history of the Princely House of Reuss-Greiz and the theatre in the courtyard garden also attracts visitors with numerous performances.
For culinary delights, you should definitely try the traditional Thuringian cuisine, for example during a visit to a cosy inn or at the weekly market on the market square in Greiz.
Outdoor enthusiasts will also get their money's worth here - whether hiking through the forest or cycling along the White Elster and Göltzsch river courses - there is plenty to experience! The best seasons for this are spring to autumn. If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Waikiki leisure pool or a tour of the Vogtland Oberlandmuseum in Plauen.
Where is the most beautiful in Reichstädt? That's hard to say, because every place has its own charm. But a walk through the castle park or along the White Elster should definitely be on your to-do list.
