Germany: Fairy Tale Route, tailor-made by car

Relive your childhood and follow the footsteps of the Brothers Grimm. Discover the places that inspired world-famous tales such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White

The Fairy Tale Tour covers the main places that inspired the Grimm Brothers to write their stories. It takes in 600 kilometres and more than seventy sights related to Grimm Brothers' tales, which have been dreamt by practically every child in the world. You'll see the dwellings of each of Snow White's dwarfs, the castles of Snow White, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, and even the roads where Little Red Riding Hood walked and the Pied Piper of Hamelin played his flute. This isn't only a perfect tour for children, but it will also take you back to your childhood without having to build an expensive time machine. At some points, you'll be welcomed by a character from a Grimm Brothers tale and guided through the tours, making you feel like a true protagonist of each story. You'll visit cities such as Bremen, Hamelin, Trendelburg, Höxter and Polle, among others. But there are many beautiful places where these characters were created. We'll also explore the life of the writers who gave life to these characters. From their hometown, Hanau, passing through Steinau, the city where they spent their childhood. You'll discover how they lived and how they began to investigate fables in Marburg and write them in Kassel. The Bellevue Palace in Kassel is where some the original Brothers Grimms tales were created, earning it the accolade of UNESCO World Heritage Site. A magical trip that will make you recover the fascination and joy of childhood.
