Lovely place ….unfortunately the Castle cannot be visited. You can only enjoy some food and drinks and have a short walk around one side of the Castle.

Excellent place to have dinner over here. Look like castle is not open for public. Restaurant serves good food here and beers are so good. Must try Highlight to the place was view towards villages here. Better to visit after 6pm, because sun cools down little and sky turns orange a bit and cool breeze makes you feel relax here.

The atmosphere is what you're here for! The drinks are good and the food is average. Lots of options for vegetarians, no fish options. This place is spectacular for a view of the area and vineyards but don't expect a gourmet meal. The vegetable pizza was not so great, I would not recommend but the frommes were pretty good. More like pub food.

great place to spend a day off. Entrance to the gallery is free; a large number of sculpture exhibits are located on the street. Inside there is an interesting selection of art from various directions and periods, a lot of air and light. There is a cafe and toilets. There is also a second museum dedicated to technology.

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
St. Michael's Church is a must-see attraction in Schwabisch Hall, located right in the city center with its impressive tower and spacious square. Visitors can climb the bell tower for stunning views of the city, but should be mindful of the loud bells. The church boasts incredible historical architecture and hosts live theatrical plays on its steps during the summer. It's a beautifully restored building that showcases a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, with some chapels featuring Baroque decor.

Besides being a historical building with the greatest architecture, the staircase outside is used by the town as a stage for plays. Away from home and wanting to serve God with fellow worshippers, it was the most amazing sermon I have attended.

Wertheimer Burg

Sights & Landmarks
Castles
Burg Wertheim, also known as the Wertheim Castle, is situated on a hillside and can be reached by a 15-minute uphill walk from the village. While it is mostly in ruins, it offers an intriguing historical experience with well-explained historic facts for interested visitors. The castle provides stunning views of the picturesque town of Wertheim. Additionally, there are nearby restaurants and places to relax with family or friends after exploring the castle.
We visited the castle. Restaurant in a castle, what better combination. Of course I tried the food. Everything was delicious, I ordered Mediterranean shrimp, semi-dry white wine and finally an apple strudel with a Baileys latte, the latter I think is a special because I didn't see it on the menu, but I did see it on the blackboard. An excellent experience, the day was sunny luckily and we ate outside with the wonderful view and food. Highly recommended.

Great views of the valley and good food in this interesting location. I had the Schweitzer Wurstsalat which was pretty good, but the vinaigrette was a bit weak. My wife enjoyed pepper garlic cream soup that was quite good. We finished off with Apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce, which was also good.

Shopping mall
Shopping
Wertheim Village is an outdoor shopping mall designed like a village, offering over 100 outlet stores from well-known brands. Conveniently located on the A3 motorway, it's just a 50-minute drive from Frankfurt and 60 minutes from Nuremberg, with ample free parking available. The area is easily accessible by train and bus as well. The village features various wheelchair-accessible boutiques, clean restrooms with facilities for parents, and open restaurants.
I love this place. I come here once every six months and always leave with purchases))) I especially like the selection of sportswear. There are many shops on the outlet territory, there is a restaurant area, toilets are also available. It is best to go here by car, the parking lot is huge and it is free for visitors.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wertheim Village is a fantastic destination for outlet shopping — clean, beautifully designed, and home to a wide range of premium and luxury brands. Whether you’re here for fashion, accessories, or homeware, there’s something for everyone. One standout feature is the excellent concierge service. You can have your shopping bags sent directly to the concierge for collection later, which makes for a much more comfortable and hands-free shopping experience. It’s a thoughtful touch that adds real convenience, especially if you’re planning a full day here. The facilities are equally impressive. The toilets are beautifully maintained and clearly built with comfort in mind — spacious, clean, and even stylish, which is rare for outlet malls. Overall, Wertheim Village delivers a premium shopping experience that’s a cut above the usual outlets. Highly recommended for a day of relaxed, high-quality retail therapy.
Irene L — Google review
A lot of stores. Not bad discounts. There are a few restaurants but when it’s too hot outside unfortunately doesn’t have anything with air conditioning where you can sit and eat. Parking space is free and that is a big big plus.

The place to buy quality stuff, its a market of world top brands , and sometimes if you are lucky and have some sale on some store, it makes your day because you get super quality stuff for a very very reasonable price, my favorite market 😀
Majid K — Google review
Great outlet shopping experience. This outlet is a bit far away from the Frankfurt CBD area if you take a train and bus to get there. Luckily, I found and booked their shuttle bus to get there; it was so convincing. The only comment for their shuttle bus is that the return time is a bit early, at 3:25 PM. This is a beautiful countryside outlet, with a nice view, and many famous shops with great discounts. Their Italian restaurant is quite good. But their waffle shop at the corner is a nightmare; it is cold and not good. And during the trip with the shuttle bus, you can also see a fantastic view.

Marienberg Fortress

Fortress
Museums
Perched on a hillside overlooking the Main River, Marienberg Fortress is a reconstructed 13th-century stronghold that houses art and history museums. The fortress has a rich history dating back to a Celtic fortification in the 1st century BC and offers insights into the region's past through extensive collections of artifacts at the Main Franconian Museum. Visitors can also explore formal terrace gardens while enjoying stunning views of Wurzburg from this strategic vantage point.
Nice castle on the hill. Amazing panoramic views to Wurcburg city. Nice calm walking trays. There is a bus no.9 going down the hill.
JOvi E — Google review
One of the best strolls in the area : crossing the bridge and leisurely walking up to the fortress in the midst of vineyards. Strongly recommended the castle tour and enjoying the view from the top gardens.
Tony B — Google review
I’ve hiked to the fortress crossing Alte Mianbrucke bridge and going gradually on Zeller Strabe and via chain of town gardens culminating in ascent to back entrance of Marienberg Fortress (with benefit of sightseeing much more than the forest). Given limited amount of time, I have not chosen interior tour, but full loop around the fortress afforded beautiful town and nature views. Returning back to the town via main entrance to the forest was quick and easy descent.
Mike Z — Google review
Worth a visit, even while renovations are underway. At the moment the main part of the fortress isn't accessible, but the museum is still well worth the ttrip. If using public transportation, take the #9 line to get as close to the main entrance as possible.
Nathan V — Google review
The Marienberg Fortress offers a fantastic view over Würzburg and looks beautiful from the outside. Unfortunately, there is currently a lot of construction work going on, so a large part of the area couldn’t be visited. We only stayed outside and didn’t go inside, so I can’t comment on the interior. The parking fees were quite high, so I would recommend walking up from the old town instead — it’s a nice way to enjoy the scenery!
Cara J — Google review
We have just enjoyed a very pleasant and interesting visit to the fortress. The steady climb up from the river provided nice views. Although the fortress is undergoing major renovations until 2032, the museum in the former arsenal was worth a visit, especially for the exhibition on the peasants war for which this year is the 500th anniversary. Being a Sunday admission was only 1 euro each! During the renovations, tours of the main part of the fortress are by guide only, tickets from the visitor centre in the new courtyard. At this time of year (November until Spring) tours are in German only. However, as we were the only two people signed up for the 14:00 tour, the guide was able to do it in English. This was very informative and personal. Our thanks to the lovely guide for this. During the refurbishment, the cafe etc is closed, but there is a kiosk selling cols drinks and hot snacks, plus machines for hot drinks. Overall, well worth a visit!
John S — Google review
A fortress wrapped in history — and home to some of the most unforgettable views in Würzburg. Even though Festung Marienberg was partially under renovation during our visit, the experience was absolutely worth the climb. In fact, the construction almost faded into the background the moment we started walking up the hillside paths surrounded by vineyards and those classic Würzburg panoramas. When we reached the top, everything was covered in thick fog — the kind that makes the whole place feel mysterious and ancient. The fortress walls, towers, and archways appeared like shadows in the mist, and honestly, it added such a cinematic touch. We thought we’d lost the view for the day… but then, a few minutes later, the fog slowly opened up. And that’s when the magic happened. The entire city revealed itself beneath us — the river, the old town rooftops, the bridges, and the rolling hills. It felt like watching a curtain lift on the most beautiful stage scene you can imagine. The contrast between the fog and the suddenly crystal-clear panorama was surreal. You could feel the whole crowd around us go silent for a moment, just taking it in. Even with renovations, the fortress remains a must-visit. The atmosphere, the history, the climb, and especially the views — everything comes together perfectly. If you’re in Würzburg, you simply can’t skip this place. And if you’re lucky enough to catch the fog lifting like we did, you’ll remember that moment for a long, long time.
Ronnie P — Google review
The path to fortress is incredible and the view from top along with Main river view reminded me of Prague and the bridge resembling some what to Charles bridge. The red roofs and architecturally decorated view was splendid. I would definitely go again.

Old Main Bridge

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Bridge
The Old Main Bridge, also known as Alte Mainbrucke in German, is a historic stone bridge in Wurzburg that dates back to the 16th century. Adorned with statues of saints and historical figures, it serves as a cultural and social hub for both locals and tourists. The bridge offers stunning views of the Marienberg Fortress and the Main River, making it a popular spot for people to gather, especially in the evenings.
Old Main Bridge – Simple, Peaceful, Timeless I didn’t cross the bridge, just saw it from the riverbank — and honestly, that was enough. The red stone arches, the quiet flow of the Main, and the reflections in the water made for such a peaceful moment. It’s not flashy, but it has this calm, old-world charm. Perfect spot for a slow walk, a photo, or just to sit and breathe for a bit.

Great place for a pedestrian bridge. Watch the locks and dams move boats up and down the river and people from shore to shore. The statues and hanging baskets are a nice touch. The benches are an invitation to enjoy the views in all directions. This is a very historic structure. The bars and rearraunts at both ends are good also.

This bridge is very popular for sipping wine with the Main river and Bineyard view. Even though it is nout that much architecturally decorated comapred to other bridge in Germany, the view is surreal.

Würzburg is such a charming city, and this bridge is truly the heart of that charm. Grabbing a glass (or two) of wine and watching the sunset here is an experience you shouldn’t miss. The atmosphere is amazing — people chatting, laughing, enjoying the moment together. It’s lively but relaxed, full of warmth and good energy. Absolutely beautiful and priceless experience! Pro tip: buy some olives from a nearby store and take that hedonism to the max...
Luka G — Google review
One of the most iconic attractions in Wurtzburg, the bridge’s architectural style with massive statues tucked in niches resembles closely with Charles Bridge in Prague. Both are really gorgeous pedestrian bridges with splendid views from the bridge and of the bridge from shores. Similarity continues in number of tourists and locals crossing them. I have had opportunity to cross the bridge in the morning before local winery stand opens and in afternoon. Much more palatable in the morning. After wine stand opens, the bridge becomes really congested and hard to cross.
Mike Z — Google review
This is the main attraction of Würzburg. In the evenings, many locals and tourists gather. Everyone tastes the famous local wine. Beautiful views of the city, the fortress and the river. You don't want to leave this bridge!
Valeriy V — Google review
One of the most breathtaking spots in Würzburg — absolutely surreal views! The bridge next to the Rathaus is hands down one of the city’s highlights. Standing here gives you this postcard-perfect view of the old town on one side and the Marienberg Fortress towering above the vineyards on the other. When the sun hits the castle in the late afternoon, the whole scene looks unreal — like something out of a fantasy movie. It’s also a great spot for photos. You get wide angles of the Main River, the historic skyline, and that classic Würzburg charm all in one frame. Whether you’re shooting on an iPhone or a pro camera, this bridge basically does the work for you. There’s usually a lively atmosphere with people enjoying a drink and soaking in the view, but it never feels overwhelming. If you’re exploring Würzburg, this is the place you must stop — the kind of view you remember long after the trip.

Würzburg Residence

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
The Würzburg Residence is a must-see attraction in the city, known for its opulent 18th-century palace and formal gardens. This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases magnificent Baroque architecture and lush surroundings. The palace, built between 1719 and 1744 under the patronage of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, boasts intricate stuccoes, lavish furnishings, and an impressive fresco by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Gorgeous rococo. Twice a day English tours but the tour is not really necessary. The small von Wagner museum is worth a quick stop (it's free) and the church is small but pretty. There is a tourist town bus that stops outside the Residence during summer months. There are no online tickets sales or time slots.
Kate J — Google review
The decorations were wonderful, and the optical illusions on the ceiling were so impressive that I could have mistaken them for real sculptors. I took a guided tour in English, and they explained every detail, which was very educational. Towards the end of the tour, there were photos of the building that were devastated during World War II, and I was impressed by how well it had been restored.
Taka N — Google review
An absolute masterpiece — easily one of the most breathtaking palaces in all of Germany. The Würzburg Residence is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks the moment you walk in. Even if you’ve visited other European palaces, this one has a unique elegance — a perfect blend of Bavarian grandeur, Italian influence, and French sophistication. The scale, the symmetry, the attention to detail… everything feels world-class. The highlight is undeniably the grand staircase with Tiepolo’s famous ceiling fresco. It’s massive, vibrant, and so full of movement that you could stare at it for ages. The fact that it survived WWII feels almost miraculous. Every room that follows — from the mirrored hall to the intricate salons — feels like stepping deeper into a story where every wall, every frame, every piece of décor has something to say. The flow of the visit is smooth, the staff are friendly, and the signage makes it easy to understand the historical context without feeling overwhelmed. Photography restrictions apply in some areas, but honestly, that makes you focus on the craft and artistry even more. The gardens are another highlight. Perfectly manicured and incredibly serene, they create a stunning contrast with the palace’s ornate interior. If the weather is good, take your time — the angles for photos are endless. In spring and summer, it’s absolutely magical. Overall, the Würzburg Residence is a must-visit. It’s grand, inspiring, beautifully preserved, and one of the crown jewels of Franconian history. A true UNESCO treasure and an unforgettable experience.
Ronnie P — Google review
The Würzburg Residence is an absolute marvel—both architecturally and atmospherically. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stuns with its grandeur even before you step inside. The perfectly symmetrical façade, elegant domes, and sweeping gardens immediately signal that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special. Inside, the lavish interiors are almost overwhelming in their beauty. The Baroque and Rococo details, particularly in the chapel and ceremonial rooms, are full of intricate marble, gold leaf, and awe-inspiring ceiling frescoes. You could stand there for hours just admiring the craftsmanship. But what truly sets this place apart is the Residence Garden. It’s a quiet sanctuary right in the heart of the city. The sculpted hedges, fountains, and graceful statues are all arranged with such harmony that walking through the paths feels like stepping into a painting. Whether you’re sitting in the shade of an old tree or admiring the palace from behind a leafy arch, there’s a calming elegance to every corner. This is not just a site for history or art lovers—it’s a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy beauty at your own pace.

This is a unesco world heritage site. Very well maintained especially given that it was damaged during the second world war. The key highlights are the glass room, ceiling art and the gardens. The total visit time would be 2-3 hrs. Do spend time in the gardens. The rooms can feel repetitive after a while with the same greek themed tapestries

Market Plaza Water Fountain

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
When visiting Wurzburg, make sure to capture a memorable moment in front of the Market Plaza Water Fountain. This vibrant market square serves as a hub for various events and markets, infusing the town with continuous energy and celebration. The fountain, designed by Johann Andreas Gartner in 1802, features a 15-meter obelisk on a square pedestal with simple fountain bowls in the east and west directions. During warmer seasons, the fountain operates as a focal point of the Lower Market Square.
The water fountain on the Market Plaza is at the base of a tall stone obelisk. Sculpted human figures are present on two sides of the base.

This is an interesting fountain monument at Marktplatz. It is the work of Johann Andreas Gärtner (1802). What you see is a 15 metre high obelisk with simple fountain features that seem to operate during the warmer months of the year. There are classical style reliefs on the side of the fountain that appear to have been added in 1881. We visited Würzburg during December. At that time the base and lower level of the Obelisk Fountain were covered up. However, there were lights strung up around the Obelisk that were turned on in the evenings during the Christmas Market, adding ambience to the festival environs at Marktplatz.

(Translated by Google) The fountain in the market square I saw this fountain with my girlfriend during a day out in Würzburg. It is a tall stone obelisk, located within the market square, with a fountain at the base. The support, with a square base, houses taps that are always open from which water constantly flows and collects in small shell-shaped containers. When all the stalls are present it is not easy to see the lower part. (Original) La fontana di piazza del mercato Ho visto questa fontana con la mia ragazza in occasione di una giornata a Würzburg. Si tratta di un alto obelisco in pietra, situato all'interno della piazza del mercato, con una fontana alla base. II supporto, a base quadrata, ospita dei rubinetti sempre aperti da cui sgorga costantemente l'acqua che si raccoglie in piccoli recipienti a forma di conchiglia. Quando tutti i banchetti sono presenti non è semplice scorgere la parte bassa.

(Translated by Google) It's not every day that you see an obelisk and it fits perfectly into the surrounding Marienmarktplatz. Unfortunately, the market stalls are very close to the obelisk, making a free photo almost impossible. (Original) Einen Obelisken sieht man nicht alle Tage und dieser passt toll in den umliegenden Marienmarktplatz hinein. Leider sind die Marktstände sehr nah an dem Obelisken, wodurch ein freies Foto fast unmöglich ist.

(Translated by Google) Wow, what's the obelisk doing here? Interesting, historic. The focal point of the market square and a good meeting place. (Original) Wow, was macht der Obelisk hier? Interessant, historisch. Mittelpunkt des Marktplatzes und guter Treffpunkt.

(Translated by Google) The fountains in Würzburg have dried up in winter, but the obelisk from the times of secularization and classicism proudly towers over the colorful, decorated and pre-Christmas glowing stalls of the Christmas market. (Original) Die Brunnen in Würzburg sind im Winter versiegt, aber der Obelisk aus den Zeiten der Säkularisation und des Klassizismus überragt stolz die bunten, geschmückten und vorweihnachtlich leuchtenden Buden des Weihnachts-Marktes.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Kids had an excellent time and did not want to leave. Food options are great and prices are expected to be a bit higher so no surprise there. There a re variety of rides for everyone of all ages. Glad it wasn't too crowded when we visited on 03 July. My favorite ride was the boomerang. Also there a husky friendly rides for my guys who wear a couple XX's in their shirt or waistband. Can't wait to go back next weekend.

Great theme park, food and drink prices not too expensive. Rides are very varied with something for everyone.
Matt C — Google review
In general we had a lovely day there. The park is not that big but offers a wide range of activities for all age groups more suited for families and children. If you are an adrenalin junky you will find a few attractions but not that a variety as in other parks. We liked that there were food stalls and toilets everywhere and the wildlife areas to calm down a bit from the excitement. Some of the attractions seem a bit dated, though they are still fun to ride. The new area that was opened this year (Asia themed) looked nice, but the dragon rollercoaster didn't live up to our expectations. (no real light show or exciting exhibits, could do much better!) If you are looking for a nice family day, this will suit you fine 😉
Sebastian K — Google review
This is a great day out for a family with attractions suitable for all age groups. The park is well maintained and the layout offers plenty of shade and diversity. This would have been five stars from me if the prices were a bit more moderate. Kids pay full price from 1.40 m size, no family tickets and on site food, drinks and ice-cream are quite expensive. I recommend big families to bring their own food and drink.
Roberto G — Google review
Its a strange collection of attractions, some clearly left overs from earlier decades or second hand from other large attraction parks. But, nice atmosphere, green surroundings, not too busy. So, you pick what you like and go over and over again in the same attraction. For younger children lots of fun options. For teenagers too limited. My 13 and 15 year old enjoyed it for a couple of hours, but too few really exciting rollercoasters etc. Prices for food and drinks are high with 3 EUR for a black coffee. Zero vegan options. It's all just s bit out of date or conservative. Maybe exemplary for Bavaria?

Great place for kids of all ages. Free entry. You can buy animal food in vending machines (they take 50 cent coins only). The animals, especially dear, moose etc., jave wonderful huge enclosures. Multiple playgrounds and a kids pool/water play area. Right now the various viewing platforms are closed off due to covid. Take bug spray. Easy to spend 2 hours, more if staying at tje pool or playgrounds!

A lot has changed over the years. Coming here since I was a child, so for the last 30 years. And I have to say I could see so much improvement! It's a great place for the whole family. Go for a walk, visit the animals, pet and feed them, go to the playground, play Minigolf, lie in the grass, go in the pool,... Would highly recommend!

Spessart Therme

Thermal baths

Health spa with pools, baths, saunas & a Dead Sea salt grotto offering treatments & fitness classes.
We love it! Very salty water, but your skin will thank you after your visit! Our favourite is, of course, the small pool with hot thermal water!
Familie G — Google review
On a short quick pre Christmas visit to Germany from the U.S., the first for my 16 year old during winter, I decided to introduce her to German spa culture. Rhein Main or Taunus Therme would have been a lot closer to us, the Toskana Therme in Bad Orb popped up and came recommended by acquaintances, but all three had quite a few negative reviews. I discovered Spessart Therme when one of the reviewers mentioned it as the better alternative that is only 6 km further than Bad Orb. I was sold when I read that they have a 10% salt pool, you can float in and that Wednesday is ladies day at the sauna (no clothing allowed). I was pleasantly surprised that we could still get a child ticket for my 16 year old or a 1/2 family ticket for the two of us (17 EUR plus 14 EUR for sauna for all day). That's a better price than any of the other spas. Nice touch: The parking lot on the left is free (5 hour time limit with “Parkscheibe”). Upon arrival we found that the next salt cave session would start soon and still had availability so we decided to check it out. The reception lady was friendly & patiently explained how everything worked but charged us (wrongly) for two adults (2x 11,50 EUR). I saw later in the brochure that youth (11-16 years) is 9,50 EUR, oh well … The 45 minute salt cave session was pleasant, blankets are provided but it felt warm (20-22C) enough. It's a good time to recharge (and nap) with relaxing music. They say 45 minutes in there is equally beneficial as one day at the ocean front. We went on into the pool area next and floated around one of the main pools that is 31C. It's pleasant and has plenty of bubblers and little water jet massagers. It feels warm going in but we needed to move around a little after a while to stay comfortable. We only tested the water of the other pool with the Poseidon temple by hand - it felt noticeably cooler (my guess was about 28C, like regular swimming pool temperature) so we didn't even bother going in there. The website says that it's 33C (?!). Then we found the smaller 10% salt pool. It's very warm (36C) The water is of brownish color and there should be a warning that it might stain white bathing suits. It made the white in my black & white top look rather cream colored. Avoid wearing white! There is a sign asking for silence and not to remain in it for more than 15 minutes. When we first discovered it, people who had just completed a water aerobics session in the therapeutic pool had gone in as a group and they were chatting away. We went back again later and were all by ourselves then - a little piece of heaven to be able to float on our backs watching the changing light colors. Only music could have further enhanced this experience. This pool alone made the 1 hour trip totally worth it. Next we checked out the saunas. There is a steam bath and a 50C & 55C sauna inside and three wooden huts with 85, 90 & 100C saunas outside. We happened to arrive just in time for the infusion in the 90C sauna. We are sauna novices but wanted to give this a try. It was popular and the sauna filled up fast. The sauna master passed out menthol drops before adding ginger lemongrass fragrance & then pouring on water. It got very hot but was still bearable and we made it to the end. There are cold showers and a small dipping tub to cool off. We also tried the 85C sauna but skipped the others. They were passing out salt to use for a full body scrub & peeling in front of the steam bath which was a nice touch. The restroom & shower areas were clean, and had good water pressure. Maybe a few more hooks would be useful. There are chairs and free hair dryers in front of a long wall of mirrors just outside of the changing rooms and lockers. Overall a very pleasant visit, we will be back in the summer!

We took our management team to visit this place to try for stress free idea. The Cyrotherapy and their little Salt Cave were our good choices. This place is clean with friendly staff. However, it'd be great if cyrotherapy and salt cave can be managed to use in a row. We had to wait for almost 2 hours to use the cave although we called to arrange time with the staff before travelling. It already took 6 hours for us to visit and return to our city. Hopefully, someone can really arrange our appointment when we call next time.

Not to big but for a few hours it was great. I loved the salt bad and sauna. Unfortunality the 25 mtr Pool was closed, after a long holliday drive i would have love to swim there. But we could relax and swim a little bit in the smaller therme pool. We came by camper and a street away we could find the camper parking place for the night.

Great system for lockers / entry / changing area fair price kids price until 16 yrs (incl). Typical spa pools, wave pool outside and a sports pool plus a salt grotto which I sadly missed. Friendly lifeguard. Only con was one of the ladies at the cantine who was impatient, rude and wrong about our order, possibly racist or xenophobic as we were obviously foreign or maybe just stressed. Her colleague was friendly though.

KissSalis Therme Bad Kissingen is a beautiful and relaxing wellness destination with a variety of pools and amenities, including sauna, steam bath, gym, and saline inhalation steam room. The facility offers varying temperature pools for visitors to enjoy. It's recommended to visit during the week when there is a mature crowd to fully appreciate the tranquil atmosphere. The place also provides good camper van overnight parking and has a restaurant with delicious food options.
One of the best if not the best thermal complex I've visited in Germany. Weekdays are quieter than weekends. 23€ for 3 hours with the sauna area access is very good value for money.

Excellent place for a day in a thermal bath. We spent around 3 hours there, and it felt too short. Please remember that the place is not too big, and they calculate headcount to allow you to enter. When we were there around 1 pm, it was full, and we waited roughly half an hour. Inside, there’s also a cafe, and the same cafe can be also found at the entrance. For the price, the place is excellent!

A great place to relax with family or friends, offering multiple pools at different temperatures. I visit frequently and sometimes use the sauna, which has various types with different temperature levels. There is also a relaxation area upstairs with hanging chairs and spectacular views of nature. It’s important to note that this is a nude sauna. If that makes you uncomfortable, it’s best not to pay the additional fee. Additionally, there is a floating pool with a high salt concentration that allows you to float effortlessly. Many people don’t know that there is a Dampfbad (steam bath) upstairs, which is free to use and doesn’t require an additional fee. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and there is even a dedicated pool for people with disabilities. As for dining, the ice cream is delicious, and you can sit indoors or outdoors. The food is quite good considering it’s a pool, spa, and relaxation center. Overall, the atmosphere is excellent, and the staff is friendly and professional.

We spent 2 hours in this thermal bath. Very nice place for family, and also has a quiet place. I have had eczema in my hand for years which keeps coming back. After one day here my skin improved and healed so very fast, less that 24 hours. Our stay here was only 1 night and I wish we had more time to stay longer for my skin’s complete healing. I will definitely return and plan to stay longer in this beautiful and quite town for relaxation time and healing.

Hercules

Mentioned on 
12 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Hercules is a monumental complex located at the highest point of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, featuring a towering copper statue of the Greek demigod Hercules. The surrounding area offers various dining options and cultural experiences, including street art in the Schillerviertel and remnants of documenta exhibitions. Visitors can also explore Grimmwelt, an enchanting museum dedicated to the Grimm brothers, before enjoying a stroll through vineyard terraces.
Hercules Kassel – A Great Family Spot! A wonderful place to spend the day with family and kids. There’s lots of walking involved, so wear comfy shoes, but the scenery makes it worth it! It’s peaceful and perfect for a relaxing Sunday getaway. Some areas could use a bit of maintenance, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Overall, a beautiful place to enjoy nature and history at your own pace.
Aswarth S — Google review
The Hercules monument in Kassel is absolutely breathtaking and truly one of Germany’s most impressive landmarks. Standing high above the city in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, the sheer size and presence of the statue and the pyramid it rests on is awe-inspiring. The panoramic views over Kassel and the surrounding hills are worth the trip alone. What makes the experience even more special is the unique water feature system – when the cascades are running, you can watch the water rush down step by step through the entire park, ending in a dramatic fountain. It’s a spectacular show of Baroque engineering that still feels magical today. The walk up can be a bit demanding, but the combination of nature, history, and architecture makes it unforgettable. Whether you come for the view, the history, or simply to enjoy the peaceful park, the Hercules monument is a must-see highlight of Kassel.

Beautiful place...as everyone knows it has 500 steps...that you have to climb slowly because you arrive out of breath...you can have a picnic at the bottom...but I went in the summer and the castle was horrible. And it's under renovation. Don't go inside the castle to go up and down for at least two hours while you walk around. If you have more time, even better. The fountains do not have water like in the videos for these dates and the heat was 33 degrees....

The waterfalls and fountains are operated on Wednesdays and Sundays on the afternoon. It’s a wonderful and quite unique spectacle being a UNESCO cultural site. To follow the path of the 5 stations you have to walk over 2 Km, mainly downhill.

Stunning views! Came the first week of November (so naturally the fountains/water were not running), but got some beautiful autumn colours and some blue sky. There is no fee to wander around the monument. I believe there's a museum there, which costs money. Unclear on if anyone is allowed to climb further up the monument (able to walk around the base at the top of the stairs), but there were locked gates blocking off when I went (around 1500h on a Monday). Helpful hint, I took the bus to the Herkules monument and then walked down through the park. It's a lot of stairs to walk up to the top, but really enjoyable walking downhill.
N M — Google review
Very bombastic venue, however it is being repaired and not a nice visit ( as of Nov 2035). I wouldn't pay the €8 to go up, unless you wish a wonderful view only, the the construction is rather hideous really. The cascade is worth a walk up and down. Wear good footwear; 535 steps. You can access the staircase cascade free. Chech the timings as the water is only switched on during the summer months, around 14:30hrs. Still worth a visit.

Begin your day with a visit to Wilhelmshöhe Palace, located in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. The park is home to the iconic Hercules Monument, the Castle Löwenburg, and the neoclassical-style palace itself. Inside the palace, you can explore a remarkable collection of Dutch, Italian, and Spanish paintings.
A nice castle in a wonderful setting. The park with its other monuments is UNESCO-listed and a must-visit. The castle hosts a nice selection of paintings (Rembrandt, Tizian, Dürer, you name it). Don't simply pass Kassel when traveling in Germany, it's a hidden treasure that not too many know about.

The museum is good enough to enjoy the stories of the Greeks. However, it has no ancient monuments as it contains prototypes for statues, vases and temples. However, It contains some nice art work and it is the only place in Kassel to buy souvenirs as postcards and magnets 🧲 😀. A bit expensive souvenirs, but it's okay..

Marvelous piece of man made wonder. Gigantic, rusty and majestic. Nice to trek with the family and have excellent opportunity to explore the nature. From HBF, you can take tram 4 to wilhelmspark and from there either ride with bus line 23 untill Herkules or trek the 3 odd kilometers. Also there are parking opportunities near wilhelmspark tram station but it's filled quickly on Wasserspiel days (Sundays, Wednesdays and public holidays in summer). Worth and recommended.

That was a truly great experience. We had a chance to have an open guided tour around the church and the adjacent palace. The Westwerk (the oldest from the time of king Carl the Great) is really unique. Unfortunately the abbey was subject to state capture in 1803, but luckily it's again in private hands and flourishing. Great garden with masses of flowers in the "backyard"

Victor and Alexandra are very helpful and kind owners of the castle. In difficult times, they received refugees from Ukraine. We lived in better conditions. Victor and Alexandra helped me with everything! They helped me forget the horror of my experience. Thanks a lot! They have a very kind heart! ❤️❤️❤️

Very extensive grounds which contain the stately home and a richly decorated church both included in the ticket price. Large car park for visitors. In 2023 the Bundesgartenschau is being held in the grounds but this costs a little more.

It was so much fun to see how it looks like an automobile and a motorcycle that were manufactured 1800 or more? 1920s to 2000🔥🥰🤩🥳 I guess the progress rapidly started at 2000🤪

unbelievable! We didn‘t expect too much before stepping in, actually we only needed some place to escape from the rain. Holly molly, we were so much impressed by this museum. From Benz 1, to Delorean „Back to the future“ and to Bugatti Chiron, it’s just fantastic! A brief history of the car industry. It’s definitely worth visiting!

Fantastic place to visit, especially as an English speaker. Staff are very friendly and the exhibits are well described and very interesting! Great price for the exhibition size and time it takes to get around. I'd recommend this for any car/bike lover.
Connor F — Google review
On a motorbike tour through Europe, we purposely aimed for this museum because of the bikes. The collection is massive, but what we didn't appreciate was that it is spread acorss multiple sites in the same town - spread out across the space of a mile or so (probably our mistake). We went to the main venue and enjoyed the exhibits, but these were a mix of cars and bikes. Only at the end did we find that the bike museum was a mile away and that we had to pay separately for admission to that venue. If we had known this, we would have gone straight to the bike venue, and saved some money. By the time we got to the bike venue to explore, we were already running behind schedule and were tired, so couldn't give the place the attention it deserved. Overall, the collection was huge, and comprehensive. I'd visit again, but pick the venue more carefully next time.

The place is well kept, with a nice piece of wall art outside in theme with the car subject . The main building is packed full of all the items that made history in the locomotion area, 6 floors! Please allow many hours to this visit, or you Won' t have time for the special features available on the premises, as it happened to us! My 3 men were so taken by the stuff and the exhibition that 3 hours passed quickly, and were not enough! Pity that not all info is in english too, but there is enough to understand the period they are talking about..Restaurant is good, with friendly, english speaking personnel, and a refined industrial mood.

Gustav Adolf Stave Church

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
Gustav Adolf Stave Church, located in the old spa resort of Hahnenklee, is a remarkable medieval-style wooden church dating back to 1908. This Nordic-style stave church was constructed from spruce trunks and boasts elaborate carvings, an impressive organ, and a unique four-octave carillon. The interior is as magnificent as its breathtaking exterior, offering visitors a peaceful and beautiful place to explore.
Really unusual to see one of these outside of Norway. Built on the Norwegian style, it's well worth a visit to admire the craftsmanship, and you won't see another unless you go to Norway. It only cost euros to get in, and that's well worth it too. Take your time inside, and soak up the atmosphere...

I went there by taking M830 from Goslar Hbf. There is only one or two time each hour,and need to check the time in order not to wait for a long time. The church is very beautiful and attractive. Very impressive. It’s worth visiting. There is a hotel near the church is also quite beautiful.

World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines

Museum
History museum
The World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines, located in Goslar, is a significant attraction with a history dating back over 1000 years. The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1992. Visitors can explore the museum housed within the former silver mine, featuring exhibits on history and geology. Guided tours of the 18th-century shafts offer an immersive experience into the mining industry's past.
I had the train tour and the museum. The tour was just in German, but was done in a majestic way. The train is obviously the focal experience of the tour, but also how the life was underground and the tools used is explained wonderfully (also without knowing the language:)). The museum is in 3 buildings, the storage with the history is the main part, and the other 2 is more about the real machines. They all have English explanations.
Marco G — Google review
I took the train/ mine option and greatly enjoyed the ride and temperature change (it was hot outside). Although the tour was in German I was able to infer as it is a very visual and interactive tour. The tour guide was really good. Hard to believe what these workers had to go through to earn a living. Free parking nearby. Great tour,

An amazing experience I would highly recommend! It's rare to get to walk in the shoes and take the same mine train the miners took back in the day, deep into the depths of this mine and UNESCO World Heritage site. The rest of the museum and exhibitions are also interesting but the mine rail tour is a must!

Very impressive! It was for me the first time to visit a mine like this, it feels you go back in time! The groups weren't that big, so you could see a lot of the mine. It was quite cold, so wear warm clothes. The train underground was an amazing experience!
Maud L — Google review
Very deceiving for such an emblematic place. It is still a quite impressive place full of history which is nice to see. I expected more... First of all, there is no tour in English. For a UNESCO world heritage site, you will expect at least one tour in English. For the museum part, it is interesting but everything is disorganised and it is not appealing. Some parts are only in German. I hope one day, this place would be made more accessible for non-german speakers.

I recently visited the Rammelsberg Ore Mines with my husband and had an incredible experience. We took the guided tour in English, called the Röder Stollen, led by Mr. Christian Etzrodt. He was super friendly and humorous, making the entire journey interesting and engaging. I really appreciate him going out of the way to add fun to the tour. It was an amazing and adventurous experience, and I highly recommend his tour. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful (she helped us choose the appropriate tour), as was the lovely lady at the shop. Overall, it was a fantastic visit! We really enjoyed the experience. Oh, yes! Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. You would need to walk a lot and climb steep steps. Would not recommend this tour to people with claustrophobia, nyctophobia, panic disorder, breathing issues, pregnancy, etc. It is colder and dark and might be a bit slippery. P.S. I personally give bonus points for the "Stimmungsring" at the shop, haha

The Imperial Palace of Goslar is a remarkable 11th-century royal complex that served as the residence for German emperors during the Holy Roman Empire. This Romanesque-style palace is one of Germany's largest and best-preserved secular buildings from that era, earning UNESCO World Heritage status. Despite centuries of disrepair, it was reconstructed in 1879 and remains an impressive structure.
Lovely grassy area which we took our shoes off to enjoy- as only grass we saw in the town. Lovely old building and very peaceful.

The Imperial Palace of Goslar is a remarkable medieval site with a rich history dating back to the 11th century. Inside, the museum showcases artifacts that highlight the Holy Roman Empire’s influence. The Royal Chamber stands out with its beautiful frescoes and impressive medieval décor. From the palace windows, you get a picturesque view of Goslar’s old town, blending history with charming landscapes. While some parts feel a bit worn, the overall experience offers a genuine glimpse into Germany’s imperial past.

Neo-Gothic castle with guided & dramatised tours of ornate royal apartments, plus summer concerts.
Slot Marienburg is an absolutely stunning place to visit. The castle has a fairy-tale-like charm, with beautiful architecture and a serene atmosphere. Walking around the grounds feels like stepping back in time, and the surrounding landscape adds to the magic of the experience. It’s not too crowded, which makes it even more enjoyable to explore at your own pace. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Magical castle close to Hannover, sadly still closed, but it’s still beautiful to see even just from outside. Maxton Hall was also filmed there and there are three scenes outside the castle that you can visit if you’re a fan like me, it’s a nice place for just having a nice walk or taking pictures

Marienburg Castle is absolutely stunning — one of the most impressive medieval castles in the world. The architecture is massive, detailed, and perfectly preserved. Walking through the halls feels like stepping back in time, from the brick courtyards to the Grand Masters’ rooms and the beautiful views over the river. The museum exhibits are excellent, very organized, and full of history. The audio guide makes the experience even better, explaining every corner of this incredible fortress. It’s a long visit, but worth every minute. Highly recommended for anyone who loves architecture, history, or just wants to see something unforgettable.

On our way back from Hanover to Einbeck on a sunny summer afternoon, we made a quick stop at this beautiful castle near Pattensen. Even though it wasn’t open for tours at the time, it was absolutely worth it: easy access from the road, plenty of parking, and a big green area perfect for a short walk or just relaxing in the sun. The castle itself looks like something out of an old fairytale, with lots of authentic details and stunning views from every side. It’s a lovely and memorable stop that I’d recommend to anyone driving between Hanover and Einbeck!🏰🌳

St. Michael's Church, located in Hildesheim, Germany, is a remarkable example of 11th-century Romanesque architecture and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church is renowned for its exquisite bronze doors crafted by Bishop Bernward and features a painted wood ceiling depicting the genealogy of Christ. The interior is bathed in natural light from all angles, enhancing the beauty of the structure.
Even if you're not Christian or not religious at all, you can't help but be in awe of the history places like these hold. And even more, of the architects and especially the workers who have created these buildings without modern technology. And it's still here. The city of Hildesheim luckily left some space around it, so that you can really enjoy and appreciate it in all it's beauty. Highly recommended if this is what you're interested in.

From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt a genuine sense of welcome and community. The atmosphere is both peaceful and uplifting, making it a place where anyone can feel at home. The worship is heartfelt and sincere, blending tradition with a sense of relevance that speaks to all generations. The message delivered was thoughtful and grounded in Scripture, offering not just inspiration, but real-life application. Whether you're seeking a church home or just visiting, this congregation offers a meaningful experience that truly reflects the spirit of Christian fellowship.

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen is a fantastic destination that combines the thrill of an amusement park with the wonder of a safari experience. This unique animal park and holiday resort features free-roaming wildlife, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace in their vehicles. The park is well-organized and clean, making it easy for families to navigate while enjoying both animal encounters and exhilarating rides suitable for all ages.
One of a kind zoo. Safari in our own car is something very convenient for families and with that we were able to experience the animals in very close proximity. Animals looked well fed and in good shape unlike other zoos i have visited. There are also various free rides in the park both for kids and adults. Various food stalls and also WC were available throughout the park and very well maintained. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must visit place and it was very well spent day out for us 😊

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen absolutely exceeded our expectations! We had an amazing time exploring the self drive safari. It's incredibly well organized and gives you a rare chance to see exotic animals up close from the comfort of your own car. From giraffes walking past our windows to rhinos grazing nearby, the whole experience felt like a mini African adventure right in Germany. What impressed us the most was how smoothly everything ran. Entry was well coordinated, the drive-through routes were clearly marked, and there were friendly staff around to guide and assist if needed. The animals appeared healthy and well cared for, with plenty of space to roam. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The amusement park section was a fantastic surprise. There’s a great mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults. The park is clean, spacious, and offers a lot of variety to fill the entire day. Overall, it’s 100% worth the visit, especially for families or anyone looking to do something unique over the weekend. We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We went for the Halloween special and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy, and not too scary. We were able to enjoy all the rides without a wait on most occasions. Unfortunately, both rollercoasters were not operating, I dont know if this is normal for the winter months. We stayed in a safari comfort lodge, which was clean and perfect for the three of us. It was quite small, but we were only in there to sleep. The accommodation is immediately next to the park and restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was included in our package. We didn't have time to experience the safari park this visit. We will definitely be returning next year.

An interesting park with a lot of different animals. My recommendation is to go through the park in your own car instead of the bus, as it is really safe and better for seeing the animals. Touring by car takes about 2–3 hours, after which you can visit the amusement park within the same area and spend another 3–4 hours having fun—rides, winning teddy bears by throwing into baskets, food available around. There is also a place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep, and llamas, which is truly wonderful for animal lovers. Overall, a very nice experience and recommended.

One of the best Safari park in northern Europe ! Very large, organised, clean and must visit. The rides are also a bonus and included, if you want to cover both I recommend to start early spend 09.30 to 12.30 at the safari, have lunch and spend rest of the day at the rides. The rides are for all age groups and parking facility is quite good, so can easily walk around. There is also an indoor play area for younger kids. Overall can easily spend a full day with family having fun and good memories !

We had booked the Tongasoa lodges. What they don't tell you is there is a hard deadline for check in. The reception closes at 7pm and they were available until 8pm for late check in. The keys and the room no. information are all provided only at the reception, if you come late, we aren't sure where you will need to spend the night. We were very lucky to have caught them just when they were locking up and they were kind enough to help us with our checkins after their work hours. Apart from that everything else was really nice. They rooms were nice and clean, the beds were comfortable and all amenities were functional. The breakfast the next day at Manyara restaurant was just fine. If you are a vegetarian, you will be able to get sandwich and cereals and for vegan probably just fruits and salad vegetables. Safari the next day was really fun, we went with our own cars. The animals were very close and approached the cars. I thought I read you shouldn't feed the animals, but some of the cars in front of us were feeding apples, bananas and carrots and nobody stopped them. The amusement park was also fun, it came with the safari tickets, we didn't need to pay extra.

Covering over 220 hectares, it is home to more than 1,500 animals encompassing around 100 species, making it an extraordinary destination for nature lovers, families, and adventure seekers alike. Safari Experience and Animal Kingdom At the heart of Serengeti Park lies the Serengeti-Safari—an expansive 110-hectare drive-through area where visitors can witness free-roaming lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, bison, antelopes, and many other iconic African species. This safari experience can be enjoyed either in your own car or via a guided safari bus, offering close-up views of the animals in large, naturalistic habitats.

Additionally, the Jungle-Safari invites guests to explore a walk-through area housing over 20 species of monkeys, including chimpanzees, gorillas, lemurs, and orangutans. This section is designed to offer an intimate and safe interaction with these fascinating primates, and features an exciting Jungle Safari tour that combines animal viewing with adventurous off-road rides and special effects. The Petting Safari area allows children and families to get hands-on with domestic animals like alpacas, donkeys, and goats, providing a more interactive experience particularly loved by young visitors. Visitors can feed and cuddle the animals, making it a fun and educational part of the visit for kids.

Space of remembrance
Sights & Landmarks
Bergen-Belsen Memorial is a site that preserves the memory of the horrors of World War II, serving as a tribute to those who lost their lives during this dark period in history. It houses monuments, displays and research facilities that chronicle the experience of former POWs and those sent to concentration and displaced persons camps. The museum staff are welcoming and helpful, creating an organized space for visitors to learn about this somber part of history.
Loved the memorial. The exhibition is more extensive than we thought. We spent a solid two hours reviewing the history and personal stories. Very well done.

Inevitably a very thought provoking experience. A very detailed museum with photos, video artefacts etc. Outside it was not fully clear where to go, take the free map. Nice to see Anne Frank's memorial, her story has moved me for over 50 years

Free to enter and walk around, the scale of the area is massive and you can easily spend 2-3 hours walking around. You don't truly understand the scale of the camp until you walk the grounds. Although none of the original building stand there are plenty of maps explaining certain areas dotted around the grounds. The POW cemetery is separate from the camp, roughly a 5 min walk and is now connected via a sand path that crosses the training area. All signs have an English translation and the exhibits in the museum also have English translations. There is a cafe and library on site, but I didn't visit.

The history in this memorial was extremely tough to see but important to know so the past will never be repeated

Poignant and moving. Very well narrated in the stories and pictures in the museum which is new. Camp site tells the story well although it is only the foundation now as it was destroyed at the liberation due to disease concerns.

Very emotional and at times hard to see. Important so learn what can sometimes happen if bad people are allowed to go too far

Great Dog friendly, kid friendly place! We had a blast just us adults and the dog. Lots to see. Beautifully set up. You need a good 3-4 hours to see it all. They have places to get decently prices food and drinks if you need a break.

We have been there a number of times and found the park very nice and fun to be in with kids. There was a very nice big playground and many things to see and do. We will go again and we can only recommend this to anyone.

We had an amazing time at Wildpark Schwarze Berge! The park is beautifully laid out, surrounded by peaceful forest and plenty of space for the animals to roam. You can really feel that the animals are well cared for and that the staff are passionate about nature and education. The walking paths are scenic and easy to follow, and there are so many species to discover — from wild boars and deer to owls, lynxes, and wolves. What we especially enjoyed was the Fuchsfütterung (fox feeding). It was such a unique and intimate experience to watch the foxes up close and learn more about their behavior. The keeper explained everything in a really engaging way and made it feel personal and special. Seeing how curious and playful the foxes were was definitely the highlight of our visit. The park also has great viewing areas, clean facilities, and a nice restaurant with local food. It’s a perfect spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals and nature. We’ll definitely come back again — and next time, we’ll plan to stay even longer!

Huge park to entertain your kids. There are plenty of animals to see and areas that you can relax have a Picknick. Also they have an area where you can have a BBQ if you bring your own things to grill. Can spend the whole day with kids and family.

Large and clean animal park with spacious enclosures, but sometimes difficult paths with quite a gradient. The path through the park is paved and can also be visited with handcarts, wheelchairs and prams. Plenty of clean toilets, rubbish bins and food is also provided. Dogs are allowed! Large and open animal enclosures for very close contact.

My Daughter enjoyed every moments and to see animals and some to touch them. Surprisingly enough there is many people visit on weekend but since the place is bigger you don't see or feel it is crowded. The challenge if you take a bus it runs after every 45 min and during summer most of weekends the bus is full
