Discover the region

Geographically, the town is situated on a hill above the river Eder and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding valley. The old town of Felsberg is characterised by well-preserved half-timbered houses from the 16th century and invites visitors to take a stroll through history.

One of the tourist attractions is Felsburg Castle, which was built in the 14th century and today serves as a cultural centre. The town church of St. Blasius with its Gothic architectural style and the 17th century town hall are also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights can be found above all during the annual medieval market, at concerts or theatre performances in the castle or also at the traditional Oktoberfest in the town centre.

For gourmets, there are numerous culinary specialities to enjoy, such as local specialities like Ahle Wurscht (smoked Mettwurst) or potato pancakes with apple sauce in cosy restaurants.

The surroundings of Felsberg are perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling along the Eder cycle path, especially between spring and autumn when nature unfolds its full splendour. Water sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth by going canoeing or fishing.

Even in rainy weather, there is plenty to do in Felsberg: visit the local history museum and learn more about the history of the region or relax in the spa area of the Schlosshotel.

It is hard to say where it is most beautiful in Felsberg, as each place has its own charm. But a walk through the old town with its winding streets and historic buildings should be at the top of your list.

Overall, Felsberg is definitely worth a trip for all lovers of nature, culture and good food. This travel guide provides you with everything you need to make your trip to Felsberg unforgettable!

    Ich bin nur einen Teil der Strecke von Fuldabrück bis nach Melsungen geradelt und habe für den Rückweg die Bahn bis Baunatal-Rengershausen genommen. Eine wirklich schöne und abwechslungsreiche Strecke, mit mehreren netten Biergärten an der Strecke. Sehr positiv ist mir auch aufgefallen, dass die Fahrradmitnahme in Hessen kostenfrei ist.

    Wir sind bei bestem Wanderwetter diese super schöne Runde gelaufen. Gestartet und geparkt haben wir an der Feuerwehr in Brunslar. Dort befindet sich ein schöner Biergarten wo wir die Runde am Ende ausklingen lassen konnten. Wir sind von dort gegen den Uhrzeiger durch die Ederaue zur Felsburg gewandert. Anschließend nach Gensungen und von dort an einem Bach entlang einen gesperrten aber dennoch begehbaren Weg stetig leicht bergauf zur Burg Heiligenberg. Hier war der höchste Punkt der Runde erreicht und es ging fast nur noch bergab zurück zum Startpunkt. Die Runde hat uns super gefallen, es gibt aber keine Beschilderung, so dass etwas Vorbereitung erforderlich ist.
