Friedewald Water Castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle of Friedewald was built in the 13th century at this strategic point, because medieval military and long-distance trade routes met here. After it was destroyed in the Seven Years' War, it lost its importance. It was only partially used. Today you can visit them and climb the thick tower.

You can find more information and the opening hours here: museum-friedewald.de/museum/oeffnungszeiten_und_preise/oeffnungszeiten_und_preise.html.

Cable-Stayed Bridge Over the Fulda

Highlight • Bridge

The new bridge for cyclists and pedestrians over the Fulda near Bad Hersfeld is an eye-catcher. It meanders like an "S" across the river - great.

Eichhof Castle

Highlight • Castle

Eichhof Castle is located here. It has a square basic shape and was originally a Gothic moated castle. In the 16th century it was then converted into a castle.

Today the seat of the Agricultural Center of the State of Hesse is located in the castle. In summer, however, the castle is transformed into the backdrop of the Bad Hersfeld Festival, which is performed here.

Stiftsruine Bad Hersfeld

Highlight • Historical Site

The Abbey Ruin in Bad Hersfeld is the ruin of the Collegiate Church of the former Hersfeld Abbey in Bad Hersfeld. It is one of the largest Romanesque basilicas north of the Alps and is now the largest Romanesque church ruin in the world. The collegiate church and most of the monastery buildings were destroyed in 1761 in the Seven Years' War.
Occasionally, festive events and choral performances took place in the ruin. This was taken up again after the Second World War and the Bad Hersfeld Festival has been held there since 1951.
