Holiday competition

Win a holiday for two to Thuringia, Germany

The Guardian, in partnership with the Thuringia Tourist Board, is running a competition to win a five-night break for two in the German region. Never heard of it? Me either, but it looks and sounds beautiful...

The Guardian

Medieval villages, palaces and castles, lush forests and jaw-dropping landscapes. World-famous hiking trails, arts and culture, amazing local cuisine and unbeatable cycling routes. You may not be familiar with the German region of Thuringia, but this beautiful, historic state has it all.

Whether you’re visiting Bach’s birthplace of Eisenach, checking out design school Bauhaus’s roots in Weimar, discovering the world’s oldest planetarium in Jena or tasting chocolate at the legendary Goldhelm workshop in Erfurt, Thuringia has something for everyone.
