Eschwege

Eschwege is idyllically situated on the river Werra and surrounded by wooded hills. The town has a long history and is known for its well-preserved old town with half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th century. The market square with its historic town hall forms the heart of the town.

Tourist attractions also include Wolfsbrunnen Castle, perched high on a hill, and the town church of St. Marien with its impressive sandstone tower.

Culturally, Eschwege has a lot to offer: The annual Open-Flair-Festival attracts thousands of visitors every year and offers live music of various genres on several outdoor stages. The municipal museum also provides insights into local history.

For culinary delights, a visit to the weekly market or one of the numerous restaurants in the town centre is recommended - here, regional cuisine is mainly served, such as Thuringian grilled sausage or Hessian apple wine.

Outdoor activities can be carried out depending on the season: In summer, the nearby Werratalsee invites you to swim and sail while in winter you can go skiing in the nearby mountains. Hikes through the picturesque countryside are also possible at any time of year and offer wonderful views of Eschwege and the surrounding area.

For rainy days, a visit to the indoor swimming pool or one of the cinemas in town is recommended.

Eschwege is worth a trip all year round, but especially in spring when everything is in bloom or in autumn when the leaves turn colourful. Whether you want to experience history, look for cultural highlights or just want to relax - Eschwege has something to offer for everyone!
