Flat in Weimar, Germany
We live in a comfortable 100qm / 3 bedroom apartment in an old villa in a good and quiet area not far from Weimar city center. It has a nice garden where summer guests will also be able to harvest fruit and vegetables.
Weimar is Germany's city of classics and was Europe's cultural capital in 1999. It is mostly known as the home of Germany's most famous poets Goethe and Schiller, whose residences you can visit. The original Bauhaus was founded here and the Belgian arcitect Henry van de Velde built a number of houses. Weimar has an inner city castle, the Anna Amalia library with its famous Rokoko hall is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. There are several beautiful parks along the river Ilm and around the Belvedere castle. The river Saale with its vinyards and castles is not far. Right behind our house the Feininger bike route starts where you can bike along places where the painter Lionel Feininger found his images.
A sad but important sight is the concentration camp Buchenwald.
The cities of Erfurt and Jena are not far (both 30 minutes drive), but you can also visit Leipzig and Dresden if you are willing to drive a bit longer (one and a half to two hours drive).

FR52087Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans la maison d'Andrea et Lars,qui nous y ont chaleureusement accueillis. La maison est très confortable et le jardin est splendide, l'arrosage des plantes et le "soin" aux cailles ne sont rien en regard des légumes et des œufs que nous avons pu déguster.
La ville de Weimar mérite d'y passer du temps, elle offre de nombreux musées, des quartiers pittoresques et tout le nécessaire pour s'y sentir à l'aise. Les environs permettent aux randonneurs à pied ou à vélo de découvrir un paysage de collines et de forêts facilement accessibles par transport en commun (bus et train).
Merci encore à Andrea et Lars pour cette opportunité de découvrir ce coin de Thuringe.
