With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Marburg, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with St. Elizabeth Church, Landgrafenschloss and Kaiser Wilhelm Tower. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Siegen, 20 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Upper Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Lower Castle and Church of Wilnsdorf.)
