As a conclusion to my short break in Thuringia, in rainy and gloomy weather, I took a short loop through Gotha. Pretty town, which is certainly even more beautiful in sunshine.

April 18, 2022,[TH] Altstadt Gotha 🏰🌳⛪

Quickly use & enjoy the evening sun 🌞 to explore Gotha's old town. The castle 🏰 was already closed and therefore the castle courtyard was no longer accessible. But it is also an imposing building from the outside, which can be seen from afar.
Gotha has a beautiful old town with many old but stylishly restored houses and many stairs …
