Sprudelhof - the largest Art Nouveau complex in Europe, Hessenpark an open-air museum founded in 1974 and located in central Hessen. How poor our lives would be without testaments to our past! With over 100 buildings ranging from northern Hessian estates, a central Hessian workers-house to a southern Hessian inn, you can see and follow Hessens rural development over the last 400 years through these differing constructions. Set out on a journey of discovery, be amazed by how our forefathers lived and the conditions, often far from easy, under which they worked. Witness the village life of times gone by and compare it to present-day Hessen and your personal situation today. Saalburg Roman Fort extends a warm invitation for a journey back to Roman times. Discover the past from its original location: at the worlds only reconstructed Roman fort and archaeological museum, just next to the Limes World Heritage Site, the ancient border between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribal territories. On your time travels you can build up a clear and living picture of the history, culture and way of life of an epoch nearly 2000 years ago, with a legacy that still impacts greatly on our lives today. The tour of the park and its wonderful Taunus landscape will make your visit a pleasant and restful experience. With informative and entertaining events, tours and activity programmes we make the past come alive for you. See it, experience it, interact with it, and archaeology and history can be fun. Muenzenberg Castle: Muenzenberg Castle rises from a mountain cliff. With both its lofty keeps, the castle dominates the landscape and is the emblem of the region. Although you no longer see ink stands and pots of sand on modern desks, the Muenzenberg Castle ruin with its two prominent towers is still known as the Wetterau Ink Well. Like just a few other castles, it embodies the ideal image of a castle of the Hohenstauffen era. The small town of Muenzenberg belongs to the castle. It was most probably founded along with the castle as a merchant and artisan settlement. Of interest here are the evangelical parish church with an altar ciborium aisle and late gothic crucifix with real hair over the altar, as well as the former catholic hospital chapel. Arnsburg Monastery: The former Cistercian monastery Arnsburg is located on the northern edge of Wetterau in a deep bend in the Wetter River, which gives its name to the bountiful landscape to the north of Frankfurt am Main. Located between Lich 4 km and Butzbach 11 km today there is a well-known local-recreation destination surrounded by a beautiful landscape with lovely walking routes and glorious views. Lochmuehle Leisure Park: Lochmuehle Leisure Park has been an exceptional and popular attraction in the Rhine-Main region. The park grounds have grown to 15 hectares and attract visitors from around the country. In peak-season they offer ample opportunities for relaxing retreats. As a former cereal mill in agricultural use, the Lochmuehle consciously differentiates itself from the large, technology-focused parks. Rather than a few big attractions with long queues, variety and diversity in a rural setting are the priority. You can enjoy around 150 adventure games and attractions along the course of the river or in the meadows. You can also play with the domestic animals in the petting zoo or with a bit of luck you can even watch chicks as they hatch. Finally there is also the opportunity to picnic or barbecue in different sized groups. Get out into nature, have contact with animals, run around, be with your family and really do something together: The park combines variety and education, which is what makes it so treasured by the school groups, kindergartens and families that visit it.
