'''Treffurt''' ({{IPA|de|ˈtʁɛfʊʁt|-|De-Treffurt.ogg}}) is a small town in the western region of the [[Wartburgkreis]] district which belongs to the federal state of [[Thuringia]]. The former municipality [[Ifta]] was merged into Treffurt in January 2019. The town lies near the [[Werra]] and is surrounded by the Werratal valley and rivers. Treffurt is located next to the [[Hesse|Hessian]] border and was a former part of the [[Sperrzone]]. Today, Treffurt is a tourist destination, especially due to its scenic town centre with many restored half-timbered houses and its landmark - the Normannstein castle.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.normannstein.treffurt.de/ |title=Burg Normannstein Treffurt - HOME {{!}}{{!}} Willkommen |website=www.normannstein.treffurt.de |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160404125344/http://www.normannstein.treffurt.de/ |archive-date=2016-04-04}}</ref>
