Package holiday to Hessen

Hessen in the heart of Germany combines vibrant metropolises with fairy-tale low mountain landscapes and a rich cultural tradition. Frankfurt am Main, the financial metropolis with Germany's only true skyline, offers world-class museums along the Museumsufer, the Römer as a historic town hall, and the apple wine taverns of Sachsenhausen. Yet beyond the banking district, Hessen reveals surprisingly much nature and culture.

The Taunus, Frankfurt's green lung, rises north of the skyline with the Großer Feldberg (880 m), the open-air museum Hessenpark, and the Roman Limes, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wiesbaden, the elegant state capital, shines with its Kurhaus, Neroberg, and hot thermal springs. Kassel is the venue for documenta every five years, the world's most significant exhibition of contemporary art, and is home to the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe with its monumental water features — also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The university town of Marburg enchants with a medieval upper town where the Brothers Grimm studied and collected their fairy tales. The Edersee in the Kellerwald National Park (UNESCO World Natural Heritage) is one of the largest reservoirs in Germany with crystal-clear water. The Rhön in the east, protected as a biosphere reserve, offers gliding, stargazing in the star park, and autumnal seas of fog. The Hessian cuisine is characterized by Frankfurter Grüne Soße with seven herbs, Handkäs with music, and of course the tart apple wine.

Hessen particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, family-friendly offers. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
