The Germans call this picturesque area "Green Heart of Germany". This state has two main characteristics.
On the one hand, Thuringia has a unique landscape with small mountain ranges, bouncy castles and dense and extensive forests. On the other hand, Thuringia is almost perfectly located in the "heart" of Germany.
It must be pointed out that numerous legends and medieval castles also have an important place in the history of Thuringia. Here it will be comforting to see this place with your dog.
Three brothers, three medieval castles, "three equals" are located next to each other and stretch across picturesque fields, on three mountains. They are 25 km away from Erfurt. You can reach from Erfurt by train.
Erfurt is a beautiful city, there are many monuments, the mixture of Romanesque and modernist styles is in no way contradictory.
Walk across the bridge with your four-legged friend
Of course, the bridge is an extraordinary building. This is one place!
Along the Krämerbrücke, 62 buildings were built in the 13th century, in which the shops were occupied and kept by merchants. Originally, the churches were located at both ends of the 120-meter-long street. One of them is the Church of St. Egidius, where a popular viewpoint is equipped on the tower. In the last few centuries, the number of houses has almost halved due to fires and mergers. But they are still traded, only saffron and pepper have changed from crafts, antiques and souvenirs.

Visit Citadel Petersberg with your dog
The Petersberg Citadel is located in the center of Erfurt, 200 meters from Domplatz. The city defense system was built in several stages. Bastions, ravelins and gates were built in the second half of the 17th century. After some time, barracks were built for the garrison of neighboring Mainz, stationed in Erfurt. In the 18th century, the defensive ditches were deepened, a watchtower was built and an additional powerful fence was built.
The baroque gate facade is decorated with saw blades, carinthia and sculpted heads of lions. The tourist interest is St. Peter's Church XII. Century, the maze of underground tunnels of the citadel and the viewing platform on the tower.
Here you will have a great time with your pet.
Fish market and Egapark - spend more time outdoors with your dog
The old fish market is the city's main square. It has long been the center of trade and public life in Erfurt. Fish were mostly traded on the square. Local aristocrats built their mansions there, and the most beautiful ones even got their own names.
Egapark Erfurt Gartenbaustellung is a combination of landscape park, exhibition center and botanical garden. It was built in 1920 in the south-west part of the city. The walls and buildings now blend organically into the park landscape. In the park there are such numerous thematic objects as orchid, rose, tropical, herbal, butterfly houses, Japanese water and rock gardens.
