Thuringia, or by its full German name Freistaat Thüringen, is a small state in central Germany. It has a size of only 16,171 sq km (6244 sq miles) and about 2.3 million inhabitants.

Thuringia is very much a forested state in Germany. The Harz Mountains forms the frontier separating it from Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. In the south, the Thuringian Forest (Thüringer Wald) is densely covered with spruce, beech and oak. Tourists come to Thuringia to explore its many medieval castles and charming small towns. The capital of Thuringia is Erfurt, the oldest and biggest town in the region. The town of Eisenach with the nearby Wartburg Castle, is the birth place of Johann Sebastian Bach.
