About Wolfhagen

Wolfhagen is a storybook town filled with beautifully preserved half-timbered houses. Wander along cobbled streets, relax in the market square and immerse yourself in the unique history, culture and culinary traditions of Hesse. Picturesque national parks and medieval castle ruins await in the surrounding countryside.

Things to do in Wolfhagen

Cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses give Wolfhagen a storybook feel. The Marktplatz is a focal point and framed by landmarks like the Alte Rathaus, built in the 17th century and decorated with flower-filled window boxes. The impressive three-story building is a highlight of the German Timber-Frame Road, a tourist route that weaves across Germany and showcases chocolate-box towns and villages.

Spend the day in Kellerwald-Edersee National Park and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Hesse. The park is centred around a picturesque lake where you can swim, sunbathe and paddle. Trails wind through the woodlands and offer a chance to spot wildlife like fallow deer and wild boar.

Explore Burgruine Weidelsburg, one of the biggest ruined castles in North Hesse. It’s perched on a basalt outcrop and commands sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. Up close, the soaring stone walls and towers are even more impressive. Bring a picnic and enjoy lunch in the scenic castle grounds or purchase a “bratwurst” sausage from the kiosk.

Dine at local taverns and enjoy hearty Hessian cuisine. Specialties like “ahle wurst” smoked sausage and “grune sosse” green herb sauce showcase the unique flavours of the region. Quaint cafes invite you to sip hot chocolate and enjoy “haddekuche” gingerbread cookies.
