Geisa
This small town in the Rhön Mountains of Thuringia, Geisa sits at what was once the inner German border between East and West — the westernmost municipality of the former GDR. During the Cold War, access was restricted by East German border controls, giving the town a distinct historical identity. Today it offers mountain terrain, scenic viewpoints, and a compact central core with cafés and restaurants, with UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
