Between Weserbergland, Vogelsberg and Rothaargebirge lies Hessiche Bergland, outstanding walking countryside with wooded natural parks. It was among this virtually untouched nature where the Brothers Grimm found inspiration for their fairy tales. Names like Sleeping Beauty Castle, the Fairy Tale Route, Tom Thumb's House have been given to some of the most popular tourist attractions. Many magnificent stately homes from the Baroque and Rococo periods draw art enthusiasts from far and wide. The colorful half-timbered towns and many historical fortifications also attract numerous visitors. Lakes and reservoirs open up numerous watersports possibilities. Wintersports fans also find excellent skiing and sledging on the Hohe Meisner.
