Fulda
The baroque city impresses with its magnificent cathedral, the residential palace and an almost Mediterranean flair in the old town
Located in eastern Hesse, Fulda is a Baroque royal seat with a long religious and cultural tradition. It was founded around 744 as a Benedictine monastery and quickly developed into a center of learning and faith. Today, Fulda combines impressive architecture with green spaces and a charming downtown area.

Kloster Frauenberg
This Franciscan monastery with a church, monastery garden and café is located on a hill above the city. It not only offers a spiritual atmosphere, but also a magnificent view over Fulda. Events, guided tours and quiet retreats make the Frauenberg a special place.
