With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Bad Hersfeld, 20 miles away, has to offer. Bad Hersfeld Abbey Ruins should be at the top of your to-do list here. Kurpark and Bad Hersfeld Church are terrific attractions too. Locals will also probably point you toward Kassel, 20 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Wilhelmshoehe Park. (But we’d also highly recommend Schloss Wilhelmshoehe and Loewenburg Castle.)
