This summer, our family embarked on a magical five-day mini-road trip along the German Fairy Tale Route, where the timeless tales of the Brothers Grimm come alive. Our journey was packed with castles, canoe adventures, and cozy camping nights. We explored Alsfeld, the enchanting setting of Little Red Riding Hood, and visited Hessisch Lichtenau to meet the legendary Mother Hulda. We marveled at the famous Rapunzel tower and uncovered the wonders of Sleeping Beauty’s castle. I’ll share our route—ideal for anyone who loves a touch of magic in their travels and wants to experience the fairy tales that shaped their childhood.
