Top Reasons to Go

Valley Road: Drive or bike the scenic highway between Hannoversch-Münden and Hameln (Hamelin)—it's a landscape of green hills, Weser Renaissance towns, and inviting riverside taverns.

Marburg: Staircase streets cover the steep hillsides of this half-timber university town; sit outdoors and soak up the atmosphere.

Bremen: Browse the shops and galleries lining the picturesque Böttcherstrasse and Schnoorviertel, then savor the city's rich coffee tradition.

Dornröschenschloss Sababurg: With its spiral staircases, imposing turrets, and fairy-tale setting, this castle was said to have been the Grimm brothers' inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle.

Schlosspark Wilhelmshöhe: Home to a stunning, crescent-moon palace and a fairy-tale castle, the park’s trees, ponds, and wide-open spaces offer a dramatic contrast to the urbanity below.
