To Do Marburg $0.00 The small university town of Marburg is a labyrinth of higgledy streets with its well-preserved half-timbered houses rising up the hill on the west bank of the Lahn river. Its Elisabethkirche is Germany's oldest pure Gothic cathedral. Perched on the highest point, the imposing 13th-century castle Landgrafenschloss looms over the pretty town. For more wonderful views, hike up to the Spiegelslustturm (Kaiser Wilhelm Tower), or to soak in the river scenery take a pedal boat trip.

Little Red Riding Hood is thought to have been inspired by the Schwalm region's local traditional costume of a red cap.
To Do Trendelburg $0.00 Huddled on the river Diemel, little Trendelburg enchants with its old-world charm but it's the fairy-tale tower in the town's 13th-century castle, thought to have inspired the tale of Rapunzel, that lures most visitors. A popular stop on Germany's Fairy Tale Route, which runs from Hanau in central Germany to Bremen in the north, the long-haired princess makes regular appearances in the window of the tower, which is now a hotel. While you're in town, take a canoe trip along the river and go for a pedal around its network of forest trails.
To Do Goslar $0.00 Steeped in tales of miners, witches and emperors, Goslar in the Harz mountains is a bewitching place.
