Holiday Home in Hesse Highlands for Pristine Nature and Rich Culture

Set in a spectacular landscape in the heart of central Germany, a holiday home or holiday house in the Hesse Highlands provides the perfect opportunity to explore this historic region. Rent a holiday home amidst the lush deciduous forests which are some of the largest remaining unspoilt examples of ancient woodland in Europe. Alternatively you can find a holiday apartment or holiday house in the regional city of Kassel which, despite having suffered extensive damage in the Second World War, still contains examples of historic architecture which tell the story of this region's prominent place in the history of Germany.

Holiday rentals in a beautiful natural setting The vast, ancient forest of the Hesse Highlands, much of which is protected nature reserve, is a popular destination for hiking, bird watching and picnics. Rent a holiday house amidst the woodland of the Habichtswald mountain ridge, immediately west of the city of Kassel, which offers a wide variety of options. With its crystal clear streams and rocky hills, a holiday rental in the Kellerwald Edersee National Park, in Hesse's pristine Waldecker Land, allows visitors to enjoy the many hiking and cycling trails which run through its endless beech forests.

A holiday apartment in historic Kassel

Kassel, the region's capital, has a history which stretches back over a thousand years. The city's many cultural and historic sites reflect its illustrious heritage. A holiday rental in Kassel provides the perfect base for exploring the city's numerous museums, which include the Friedericianum, one of the oldest public museums in Europe, and the former residence of the Brothers Grimm. The Hercules Monument, with its impressive water feature, overlooks the city from the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Amongst the city's other attractions are the picturesque Löwenburg Castle which dates from the Middle Ages, a Roman aqueduct and the Schloss Wilhelmshöhe where visitors will find paintings by Dürer, Rubens, Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Van Dyck. With its combination of cultural attractions and natural beauty, the Hesse Highlands is an ideal holiday destination.
