Today we had planned to visit the Wartburg! This was our main reason for being in the area. We were very excited to see the castle where Martin Luther hid out in for 300 days in 1521-1522 after being declared an outlaw and a heretic at the Diet of Worms. In this castle from the middle ages Luther translated the New Testament from Greek into German. The Wartburg Castle is the most visited site from the Reformation. This castle is a sort of Protestant Pilgrimage site, and us being Protestants, were thrilled to be there and get a tiny taste of history alive.
