Tourism
A warm welcome
The Altenburger Land is more than just an insider tip for tourists in the heart of Germany. The gently rolling landscape is characterised by tranquil villages with historic four-sided farmsteads, extensive forests and idyllically situated bathing lakes. Themed cycling and hiking tours invite you to active recreation.
Particularly worth experiencing is the residence and skat town of Altenburg with its numerous cultural institutions, such as the renowned Lindenau Museum, the Castle and Playing Card Museum and the theatre. A visit to Posterstein Castle, which is over 800 years old, the oldest windmill in Thuringia in Lumpzig or a ride on the coal railway in Meuselwitz will also make your stay an experience.
Traditional events such as the Altenburg Music Festival, farmers' and craftsmen's markets and sporting events delight thousands of visitors to Altenburger Land every year.
