French: La Wartburg
The Wartburg Castle is a World Heritage site in Germany defined by the UNESCO in 1999 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 475 (312, 210, 61) in our monthly survey..

"Wartburg Castle blends superbly into its forest surroundings and is in many ways 'the ideal castle'. Although it has retained some original sections from the feudal period, the form it acquired during the 19th-century reconstitution gives a good idea of what this fortress might have been at the height of its military and seigneurial power. It was during his exile at Wartburg Castle that Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German."
