Brothers Grimm towns, castles, forests & storybook villages
Germany’s Fairytale Route (Deutsche Märchenstraße) links places connected to the Brothers Grimm and beloved legends. Wander half-timbered towns, castles and forest paths that feel straight out of a tale.
1) Base-and-daytrips around a central stretch of the route; 2) Or connect highlight towns over 3–5 days. We keep it relaxed with scenic walks, cafés and viewpoints.
Pair the Fairytale Route with the charming Half-Timbered Route for classic façades and romantic squares. It also works beautifully with Castles & Gardens.
Fairytale-like towns with timbered façades, cobbled lanes and market squares.
Palaces, landscaped gardens and scenic viewpoints.
