The Fairest in All the Land
Seven hikes through the most beautiful forests along the German Fairy Tale Route invite you to set in the footsteps of the Brothers Grimm and experience fairy-tale magic in the here and now. Hike through dense forests, drink from bubbling springs, swim in mill ponds, visit a weekly market or stop for a bite to eat in picturesque half-timbered towns. 19 daily stages lead you through the undiscovered heart of Germany. The hikes have names like “The Frog King,” “Snow White,” and “The Twelve Brothers.”
Each daily stage explores a specific natural theme or cultural element and quotes a fitting fairy tale. Separate chapters trace the most important biographical sites in the lives of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, from Hanau to Buxtehude. Every daily hike comes with practical tips. The trails are well marked, and the start and end points can be reached by public transportation.
