An active life and holiday in Wesertal

View of the Wesertal Valley
and the Reinhardswald

Snow White and
the seven dwarfs

The river Weser lent its name to our region with its six half-timbered villages Arenborn, Gewissenruh, Gieselwerder, Gottstreu, Heisebeck and Oedelsheim, so perfect for a holiday. With the still young river running through the villages and surrounded by one of the most beautiful low mountain ranges in Germany, the township of Wesertal offers both tranquillity and a wide range of leisure activities.

Magical Wesertal inspired the brothers Grimm to write their world famous fairy tales. Sleeping Beauty's castle Sababurg with ancient forest and animal park, situated just a few kilometres away from here in Reinhardswald forest, is an enchanting attraction for all ages.

Puss in Boots is the fairytale character from Wesertal-Oedelsheim, Snow White and the seven dwarfs symbolise Wesertal-Gieselwerder and both districts are situated on the fairytale route between Hann. Münden and Bad Karlshafen. Together with Wesertal-Gottstreu, they are health resorts known for the excellent quality of their air.

There really is such a thing as a perfect world. Come and see for yourself in our award-winning half-timbered villages in the beautiful Wesertal countryside.
