From volcanic heights above 700 meters, streams flow into the hilly landscape, widening into rivers that reach down to the metropolitan areas of Frankfurt, Giessen, and Fulda. The low mountain range has remained in its original pristine condition with its half-timbered towns between forests and hay pastures. Here we relax in the volcanic waters of the thermal spa in Herbstein, let lava shreds fly in the Vulkaneum in Schotten or imagine taking a hike through the Oberwald forest, how the devil once played cards with the peasants. Wherever we are, nature is always very close by.
