With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Naumburg, 19 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Neuenburg Castle, Rotkaeppchen and Weingut Bernard Pawis. Don’t skip Weimar either! Just 20 miles away, Buchenwald Memorial, Bauhaus Museum and Goethe House are must-sees here.
