Thuringia has a long tradition as a centre of the optical and glass industries. Today its economy encompasses a wide range of businesses working in vehicle technology, optics, the engineering and equipment industries, medical technology, plastics and food. Thuringia also has important cultural sites, six universities, and natural areas such as the Hainich National Park, which forms part of the European beech forests. It remains in part characterised by its location at the former internal German border, thanks to which it is home to part of the Green Belt conservation area along the former Iron Curtain.
