Here’s a fun fact - Hanau is the birthplace of the Grimm brothers, the pair who brought many fairy tales to life in a kid’s imagination. What you might not know, though, is that this very place also marks the beginning of Deutsche Märchenstraße, a very scenic, winding road that runs through Germany and into Bremen - way up north.
Enchanting news aside, Hanau is the ideal tourist destination as all its premiere visiting spots can be reached via bus. Hop off and head into State Park Wilhelmsbad, which was named after its founder, Count Wilhelm IV. Its humongous garden features a devils bridge, a gigantic horse-drawn carousel and even a pyramid. Schloss Philippsruhe is another quaint place where almost all the locals get hitched at - it’s a castle which has partly been restored and is used as a historical museum. Drop by the Alte Fasanerie to view the animals that thrive within the wildlife park, including polar wolves, elks, bison and exquisite feathered beings at the bird aviaries.
