A short vacation in Hesse
Mountains, rivers, fairy-tale villages, over thirty spa towns, a staggering number of UNESCO Heritage Sites (44) - the state of Hesse is another gem on the map of Germany, where you will find a striking variety of leisure activities for your short vacation or city break. If you have long dreamed about gliding, try it in the Rhön hills – located on Mount Wasserkuppe is a training center for this sport. Hiking is another much-loved family pastime. The Kellerwald-Edersee national park, which is famous for its bicentenary beech trees, offers many adventure trails of different complexity, as well as possibilities for water sports and biking. For a slow-paced weekend trip, the city of Kasse (a two-hour drive from Frankfurt) might be a perfect choice. First of all, visit Löwenburg Castle in the Wilhelmshöhe Berg Park to see medieval suits of armor, furniture, and other household items. The park itself is extremely picturesque and has another remarkable building - the palace of Wilhelmshöhe, which is now an art gallery. Kasse is also part of the German Fairy Tale Route, which is a superb option for a short family vacation with kids. Starting in Hanau next to Frankfurt and finishing in Bremen, the 600-km long itinerary includes all the locations that inspired the Brothers Grimm to create their world-famous fairy-tales, with such attractions as puppet shows, theatrical performances, etc. If castles and medieval architecture are your biggest appeal, the scenic towns of Limburg and Marburg are worth exploring.
