Summer vacation in Hesse: Discover the best excursion destinations!

Hessen, Deutschland - The summer vacation is just around the corner and for over 800,000 students in Hesse this means a lot of fun and adventure! The region has a variety of leisure opportunities to offer for young and old in the coming weeks. The ZEIT emphasizes some of the best events and excursion destinations that are particularly suitable for families.

A true Highlight are the attractions on the Edersee. Here the whole family can go on bathing pleasure, a rapid summer toboggan run and the impressive treetop path. If you need a shot adrenaline, you should not miss the pedestrian suspension bridge in Willingen. With a height of 100 meters and a length of 665 meters, it offers breathtaking views! The Highwalk in Rotenburg an der Fulda, which extends over 617 meters and is up to 60 meters high, is similarly spectacular.

Discover Hessen's nature and culture

Another must is the water crest, which, with its all -weather toboggan run "Rhönbob" and the glider school, invites you to many exciting experiences. For everyone who would like to learn something about the Brothers Grimm, the Grimmwelt Kassel is the right point of contact. There are interactive exhibitions here and from a walk -in roof you can enjoy a great view.

The miniature worlds in Fürth offer model railways with impressive 11.5 kilometers on 900 square meters. Even the heart of young and old will beat faster! Anyone who likes to work is just the thing for the natural escape room in Breuna. Here a 2.3 kilometer -long puzzle tour leads through nature, which is suitable from the age of 13.

cultural treasures and UNESCO World Heritage

Hessen can also decorate itself with a variety of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These include the Wilhelmshöhe Bergpark, which inspires with its waterfalls and fountains. Over 750,000 liters of water flow over a network of twelve kilometers and rise up to 52 meters into the air. At night, the waterfalls and fountains are spectacularly illuminated - a sight that should not be missed. The restored Park Wilhelmshöhe also houses works of art of great importance and thus attracts art lovers.

As far as the Edersee and the surrounding national park are concerned, nature is shown here in its purest form. The rangers show how few people should actually intervene in the ecosystems, and the dead wood also plays a vital role for many insects and fungi. Popular events for the whole family and guided hikes, such as the Morning Dew Tour, ensure that everyone finds something suitable. The Edersee Tourismus offers exciting insights into the flora and wildlife and puts the self-regeneration of nature in the foreground.

Another beautiful place to spend the summer vacation is the Rheingau, known for its picturesque landscape with vineyards and historical monasteries. The Taunus with its countless hiking routes, the Opel Zoo and the Hessenpark open-air museum also has a lot to offer and attract families with special holiday programs.
