Hesse

A foray through Hesse: Half-timbered houses, cities, beaches and enjoyment

Like a fairy tale

in cooperation with Hessen Tourism

The state in the heart of Germany is full of opportunities for experience and discovery. It is the birthplace of famous poets and thinkers: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Frankfurt and the Brothers Grimm in Hanau. Hessen is also known for its countless castles and palaces, which look as if they have sprung straight out of a fairy tale book by the Hanau brothers. Hessen's 30 spas and health resorts offer a relaxed atmosphere - as do the many Straußenwirtschaften in the Rheingau and on the Hessische Bergstrasse, the state's wine-growing regions. Find out here which specialties Hessen is known for and where you'll find a particularly large number of half-timbered houses.

In collaboration with Hesse tourism

Hiking through quiet low mountain ranges, old beech forests or orchards, paddling on the Lahn, looking at the most beautiful medieval half-timbered houses and soaking up the atmosphere of historic spas - Hessen makes romantic souls happy all around. But gourmets also get their money's worth on wine hikes, in Hessian butcher shops and with "Handkäs mit Musik", a pickled cheese. Reasons for a Vacation in Hesse there are enough!
