Maps and trails
Westhausen is known for its historical sights such as Eishausen Castle or St. George's Church. Also visit the market square with its colourful half-timbered houses or take a walk through the picturesque spa park.

Cultural highlights can also be found here: The theatre at the market regularly shows performances and concerts of various genres. Another highlight is the annual Old Town Festival in summer - a festival full of music, food and entertainment.

For culinary gourmets, there are numerous restaurants, cafés and bistros offering regional specialities such as Thuringian dumplings or hearty bratwurst dishes.

Outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In spring, the nearby Rennsteig is a great place for hiking, while in summer you can swim at the nearby lake. Cycling or canoeing are also popular leisure activities in this region. In winter, on the other hand, skiing is a good option on one of the surrounding mountains.

Even when it rains, there are plenty of things to do: The Bad Rodach thermal spa is only a few kilometres away and invites you to take a relaxing break.

In Westhausen, Hildburghausen is beautiful everywhere - but the hiking trails around the Rennsteig as well as the view from the tower of Eishausen Castle are especially recommended. A visit to this town is definitely worth the trip!
