Seelingstädt

Geographically, Seelingstädt lies on the edge of the Thuringian Slate Mountains and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The town itself has a long history dating back to the 12th century. Today it is known for its beautiful half-timbered houses, narrow streets and historic market square.

The Greiz Castle, which is also known as the Pearl of the Vogtland, is considered a tourist highlight. It was built as early as the 13th century and is now privately owned by the Fürstenberg family. Visitors can not only admire the impressive building but also stroll through the adjacent park or take part in a guided tour.

Another cultural highlight is the annual Greiz Park and Castle Festival in summer and the Christmas market weekend in winter on the market square with mulled wine and traditional treats from the region.

For culinary delights, we definitely recommend trying a typical dish from the region: "Thuringian dumplings" with sauerbraten or rouladen are particularly popular with locals and tourists alike.

If you like to be active, Seelingstädt offers plenty of opportunities for hiking or cycling along the Elsterperlenradweg (Elster Pearl Cycle Path) or the Vogtland Panorama Trail. In winter, you can also go skiing or snowboarding in the nearby ski areas at the Kammgebirge.

And what to do when it rains? Visit the Museum of City History in Greiz Castle or the Gera Art Collection in neighbouring Gera.
