    Picturesque landscapes that inspiremany a fantasy and fabulous placeswhich tell their particularly own story – this

    is where your fairy dreams come true. And

    marvellous are the impressions that await

    you when you tour the German Fairy Tale

    Route.

    From the Main River to the North Sea, one

    of Germany’s oldest holiday routes stretches

    over 600 kilometers unfolding the splendor

    of myths and legends. Your journey will lead

    you through enchanting woods to the banks

    of rivers and streams, through the narrow

    alleys between timber framed houses way up

    to noble mansion houses and fortified castles.

    Whether you follow wild trails or walk on

    cobble stone, go by bicycle or by car, your

    destination is always the same: the door to a

    world where your wishes come true.

    … so he stayed a few days andin the meantime he exploredall of the nature of the fairy wood.

     Brothers Grimm Their Lives‘ Journey And Their

    Worldwide Impact

     They count among the most important heads of Eu-

    ropean cultural history. Their Children and Household

     Tales, listed among the UNESCO Memory of the World

    Register, celebrate their bicentennial from 2012 to

    2015.

     Taking part in the political turnaround in Germany

    themselves, the two studied jurists’ passion was the

    German language. With their collection of fairy tales

    they set up a poetic basis which has endured untiltoday.

    One more reason to follow the track of these two

    pioneers of German studies – and hence follow the

    German Fairy Tale Route, where a multitude of unfor-

    gettable events awaits you.

     The Brothers Grimm went from Hanau via Steinau and

    Marburg to Kassel, where they spent the „most labo-

    rious but also the most productive time of their lives“.

    Göttingen and Berlin count among the important

    places in their lives, too.

    „History never repeats itself, but is always new and

    fresh, constantly reborn is the legend“ – Jacob Grimm

    and his brother Wilhelm are so right.
