The city of Kassel and its surroundings in northern Hesse offers three attractions that are so important that they are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We visited these on a trip to the region.

Hiking in the Jagsttal is pure relaxation. A four-hour hike on the Path of Silence between Heimhausen, Mulfingen and Simprechtshausen in Hohenloher Land shows you the Jagsttal. Away from traffic and crowds, you can enjoy nature.
The Hanseatic city of Stendal is the first stop on our summer trip through the Altmark in Saxony-Anhalt. Stendal is one of the Hanseatic cities of the Altmark. Brick buildings are reminiscent of the time of the Hanseatic League, which helped the city to prosper.
A Chiemgau Alps Panorama Tour is most fun on secondary routes away from traffic jams and highways. Drive slowly through the countryside. Keep an eye out for beautiful prospects. Enjoy the sun and the mild wind. That works particularly well in Chiemgau.

To the question “Koblenz what do you have to see?” We answer: “The city and its surroundings”. Because not only the city at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine is worth seeing. There are sights in the surrounding area that are well worth a trip.
For those who like miles of sandy beaches, a pleasure trip to the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is the right choice. However, the region does not only offer bathing fun. On the contrary: architecture and art lovers will find just as much a find here as gourmands who like to enjoy exceptional food.
