Cable-Stayed Bridge Over the Fulda

Highlight • Bridge

The new bridge for cyclists and pedestrians over the Fulda near Bad Hersfeld is an eye-catcher. It meanders like an "S" across the river - great.

Schenklengsfeld Village Linden (Thousand-Year-Old Linden)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The lime tree in Schenklengsfeld (also called Schenklengsfeld village lime tree or giant lime tree) is a so-called millennial lime tree and perhaps the oldest tree in Germany. The lime tree stands at about 318 meters above sea level on the market square of Schenklengsfeld, which lies on a fertile plateau between the Seulingswald in the north and the Hessische Kegelspiel in the south. The market place is slightly inclined to the south and is about 30 by 60 meters. It is completely paved today. The linden tree itself is surrounded by an approximately 50 centimeter high stone wall. A beam frame has supported the branches of the linden tree since at least 1900. The wall has several passages towards the interior. Behind it is the Sankt-Georg-Brunnen. The Gasthof and Restaurant zur Linde is right on the linden tree. Mondays and Tuesdays are closed.

Stiftsruine Bad Hersfeld

Highlight • Historical Site

The Abbey Ruin in Bad Hersfeld is the ruin of the Collegiate Church of the former Hersfeld Abbey in Bad Hersfeld. It is one of the largest Romanesque basilicas north of the Alps and is now the largest Romanesque church ruin in the world. The collegiate church and most of the monastery buildings were destroyed in 1761 in the Seven Years' War.
Occasionally, festive events and choral performances took place in the ruin. This was taken up again after the Second World War and the Bad Hersfeld Festival has been held there since 1951.

Bad Hersfeld Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

After a major fire in 1038, the new building began and the collegiate church was built. In 1761, when the French army withdrew, burned down the supplies they had piled up in the collegiate church. One of the largest sacred halls in Germany went up in flames and was almost completely destroyed.

The Katharinenturm only houses one bell today: the Lullus bell. As the inscription shows, it dates from 1038 and is Germany's oldest cast bell.
