Bad Hersfeld is about 50 km southeast of Kassel and is known as the spa and festival town. Home to around 30,000 people, the town is an effortless mix of the traditional and contemporary, with modern shops, boutiques and shopping centres all sitting comfortably within the atmosphere of a medieval town.

Wandering around the town centre is a real pleasure. There’s a wealth of restaurants and cafes to sit at and watch the world go by, as well as the traditional and modern spa where you can shake of the stresses of the day and recharge your energy.

Above all, Bad Hersfeld is known for the Bad Hersfelder Festspiele, a month-long festival of music and the arts. This annual event is held in the town's 11th century abbey ruins, which themselves are said to be Europe's biggest Romanesque church ruins.
