Gotha

Gotha, the residence of the dukes of Saxe-Gotha, lies between Erfurt and Eisenach.

It is dominated by Friedenstein Palace, which is the largest early baroque palace in Germany. Inside the western tower of the palace is the Ekhof Theatre, the oldest surviving baroque theater in the world still staging plays. 

Gotha is where the Thuringian Forest Railway begins, which will take you out into the Thuringian Forest as far as Tabarz.
