Living in East Thuringia

East Thuringia

offers a high quality of life, with both urban culture, sports, leisure and shopping activities and an idyllic landscape and rural countryside. The Saaletal and Weisse Elster valleys are a great place for excursions on foot, by bike or on the water. The two cities, Jena and Gera, with 100,000 inhabitants each, form an urban area along the A4 motorway which is the ideal setting for industry, trade, services and retail. Altenburg and Greiz, once both royal seats, complement this city chic with their castles and picturesque architecture.
