The German state of Thuringia is a friendly home for nature lovers. A rolling landscape where hills up to almost 1,000 metres high are interspersed with valleys, forests, rivers, lakes and dams. The most famous nature reserve is the Thuringian Forest, through which the famous hiking trail the "Rennsteig" runs. But also the Kyffhäuser Mountains, where the German Emperor Barbarossa had a subterranean castle according to a 19th-century legend, and Hainich National Park form large green spots on the map. In the Trusetal valley, a 58-metre-high waterfall clatters and near Saalfeld is Germany's largest reservoir area.
The Free State of Thuringia (German: Freistaat Thüringen) is a federal state in central Germany with an area of 16,202.33 km² and 2,120,237 inhabitants (31 December 2020). Its capital city is Erfurt. Before German reunification in 1990, Thuringia was part of the GDR.
As of 31 December 2018, 4.98% of residents had non-German citizenship (105,629 non-Germans) and 535 residents had Dutch citizenship.
