Frau-Holle-Land Fasanenhof

Geo-Nature Park Frau-Holle-Land

The Geo Nature Park Frau-Holle-Land is located at the foot of the Hoher Meißner, not far from the former border with the GDR.

This quite countryside between Fulda and Werra is considered by hikers to be an insider’s tip, since here it is possible to experience the highest level of hiking enjoyment. Hiking trails that cover the most beautiful destinations of the region on circular routes have been tested by the German Hiking Institute and have been awarded the quality hiking seal as a Premium Trail.

Our partner hotel, the Fasanenhof in Datterode in the Ringgau, wants to make its guests feel well. Hospitality with soul and atmosphere: that is the motto of this small country hotel. Tastefully decorated rooms, bright and friendly, each with a balcony and modern, renovated bathrooms, and not least a high-quality, varied cuisine with fresh products and regional specialities contribute to increasing the sense of wellbeing among Fasanenhof guests.

All necessary transfers to and from the hiking trails will be provided by the Fasanenhof and are included in the price. Most of the hikes can be adjusted to individual capability.
