With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Kassel, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Wilhelmshoehe Park, Schloss Wilhelmshoehe and Loewenburg Castle. Don’t skip Bad Hersfeld either! Just 25 miles away, Bad Hersfeld Abbey Ruins, Kurpark and Bad Hersfeld Church are must-sees here.
