Rudolstadt
Castle Heidecksburg rises above the old town of Rudolstadt, a Thuringian town on the River Saale founded in 776 and once the capital of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. The valley setting, surrounded by wooded hills near the Thuringian Forest, offers scenic viewpoints and a compact centre with cafés and restaurants. Rudolstadt has a long industrial heritage in porcelain, with the Volkstedt manufacture established in 1762, and was once known for the Anchor Stone Blocks produced by the toy company Richter.
