Thuringian specialties: discover the culinary secrets!

The heart of the regional food culture beats in Thuringia. Over the years, many delicious traditional dishes and their names have evolved in this beautiful landscape. From the tasty specialties of northern Thuringia to the hearty delicacies in the south - the variety is impressive.

Northern Thuringia is known for the Eichsfeld, where regional delicacies such as chopped meat, stracke and the popular Eichsfelder Schmand are served on the table. These specialties are not only part of rural cuisine, but also an important part of Thuringian identity.

The delicacies from the south

Things are also good in southern Thuringia. The Asbacher Stollen, which develops serenity and taste in a mine tunnel, is very popular. Café Endter is dedicated to producing this special pastry, which is highly valued in the region. The tiled sausage from Ruhla, also known as “Dead Grandma”, also impresses. Every year there is a competition in the local museum in which the tiled sausage king or queen is crowned - a real highlight for all gourmets!

In autumn and winter, the sausage soup from Etzdorf is a must. People line up on Wednesdays so they don't miss out on this warming culinary delight. Other special features include the Kunitz egg tarts from Jena, which are prepared according to an old recipe and with a dash of alcohol, as well as the traditional bread from the wood-fired oven in Wolfsgefährth. Here the mayor bakes 80 to 100 loaves of bread once a quarter with a lot of love and skill.

Hearty food from Eastern Thuringia

Eastern Thuringia has something very unique to offer with Zampe, a tasty mashed potato made from starch. It is often served with leeks, bacon or sausage and can also be formed into dumplings. And not to forget, the Rhön specialty Zwibbelsploatz, a delicious onion cake from western Thuringia, should not be missing from this list.

The annual Egg Tart Festival in Jena in August also attracts many visitors who want to enjoy the treat and celebrations surrounding this traditional dish.
