With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Bad Hersfeld, 17 miles away, has to offer. Bad Hersfeld Abbey Ruins should be high up on your list here. Kurpark and Bad Hersfeld Church are excellent attractions too. Located 25 miles away, Kassel is another place to aim for. If you visit, make sure you check out Wilhelmshoehe Park, Schloss Wilhelmshoehe and Loewenburg Castle.
