The Spitzenburg Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The Spitzenburg can no longer be seen today. However, its history is well described. So this was the northern end of the Werder. 😃

Mühlenplatz Miniature Open-Air Museum

Highlight • Monument

Mühlenplatz is a fantastic open-air museum with 1:40 scale models. The centerpiece are the numerous water mills from all over Germany. The mill wheels are driven by a natural stream, which is cleverly used via artificial ditches and bridges. In addition, there are numerous miniatures of castles and palaces, churches, monuments and special buildings in the exhibition with a focus on northern Hesse. A wonderful facility that must be seen!
