"One solitary flash of brightness was afforded by our view of the Wartburg, which we passed during the only sunlit hour of this journey. A neighboring ridge further on, I at once christened the Horselberg... Upon his return from Paris in April 1842, this is how Richard Wagner described the landgrave's mountain castle, which is the most famous landmark in Thuringia. The vision of a new opera ws born."
