The 10 Best Things to do in Hesse, Germany
Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

It was a grey, cold November Sunday but what a treat! Nice walks, huge glass palm house and green houses with exotic plants and lots of information about the plants, history etc. 7 euro per adult and we spent a couple of hours here.

The Main Tower is one of the highest buildings in Frankfurt. Climb to the top of this 200-meter high building (take an elevator for the first 190 meters and walk the last 10) for incomparable views of the city.

During our stay in Frankfurt, we took an excursion to Kassel, the charming city of Grimm Brothers, famous German fairytale writers. After about 1.4 hour train ride from Frankfurt Hbf to Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe Bhf and a short taxi ride from the station, we arrived at the road side of Schloss Wilhelmshöhe (Wilhelmshohe Castle) inside Bergpark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a short walk, we arrived at the majestic Schloss Wilhelmshöhe. The castle was facing a breathtaking view of the vast and beautiful Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe with the tall Hercules Monument and its cascading water fall. After looking at the castle and admiring the beautiful view of the park from the castle front, we started walking toward the direction of Hercules Monument and Schloss Lowenberg (Lowenberg Castle). We spent about 2 hours walking around the beautiful park before returning to the place where our taxi dropped us off. Since there was no taxi stand around, we crossed the road and walked to the beautiful “SchlossHotel Bad Wilhelmshöhe”. The hotel’s receptionist kindly called a taxi for us. So, we took the taxi to return to Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe Bahnhof for our train to Eisnach for our visits to J.S. Bach’s Birth House and Schloss Wartburg where Martin Luther was hiding and translating New Testament. [Notes: (1) Kassel train station to visit Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is not Kassel Hauptbahnhof. (2) My review of Schloss Lowenberg would appear on Tripadvisor site as a separate review]

More sights at one place can hardly be found in Darmstadt: Hochzeitsturm (Wedding tower), Russian Orthodox Church (Built on Russian soil), Museum Künstlerkolonie (Museum artist colony), surrounded by some pretty Art Nouveau villas ... just rest at one of the nice places and enjoy the atmosphere - a short excursion is worthwhile in any case.

It’s worth your time to find your way up to this church. It is so beautiful, and is exquisite at sunset. Beautiful view of the city too.
