In the surrounding area you will also find many lakes and forests, which invite you to take long walks or bike tours.

Culinary specialities: The regional cuisine of Hessen offers a variety of hearty dishes such as Handkäs mit Musik (a type of cheese salad), Grüne Soße (herb sauce) or Frankfurter Schnitzel (breaded pork cutlet). Also try the local apple wine, known here as "Ebbelwoi".

Where it's most beautiful: A visit to Schloss Fasanerie in spring, when the flowers are in bloom, and a walk through the historic town centre of Münk in autumn with its colourful deciduous forests are particularly recommended.
