The Bastion of Catholic Faith in Germany
Con
too small, boring for young people
In a nutshell
Spend a few days in it's spell.
Weissdorn Says: I doubt there is no city more “Catholic” in all of Germany than Fulda. I don’t even think Cologne and Munich even come close, although they have nice cathedrals too. The county of Fulda and the surrounding region still have the largest numbers of seminary colleges,...
fairy_dust Says: My friends and I went to St. Blasius church once because there was "international rosary" (the rosary said in many different languages) happening as part of the pre-World-Youth-Day events. This church was built in the 18th Century and is in the late baroque and late gothic...
fairy_dust Says: The most important landmark in the city of Fulda is the baroque cathedral in the middle of town. Because it houses the grave of St. Boniface, it is also a popular pilgrimage destination. The interior of the cathedral is very beautiful and one of the things that I loved the...
IceBear7 Says: Apart from the Baroque quarter, you also find a lot of medieval buildings in the city center. Narrow lanes instad of wide avenues, little half-timbered houses instead of palaces, chapels instead of cathedrals. Little shops and workshops of craftsmen. In the picture you see...
bilgeez Says: The Marienkapelle is in the Dom in Fulda.It is a side chapel that is bigger than many churches! It keeps with the extreme baroque theme of the rest of the Cathedral. Usually this chapel is used for smaller services by the public such as weddings and funerals.
1 Review and 3 Opinions Hotel attached to a brewery in an old watermill. Rooms are nicely modernised and still show their...
fairy_dust Says: We had free food tickets as part of our World Youth Day package so we didn't go to restaurants to eat. But we did go for ice cream, and there are a lot of ice cream places around the city. Most of these places are outdoor cafes, and have pretty much every ice cream flavour...
bonio Says: We were stopping overnight at this brewery / restaurant, it's the middle of summer and warm, the beer garden is open where elso do you go to eat?Food is ordered inside and a receipt given, listen for your food, slightly confusing at first but works well when you get the...
IceBear7 Says: A new bistro-style restaurant close to the university so there are lots of students coming to this place. Nice food mostly local, also great salads,all sorts of drinks - really good prices, especially compared to Düsseldorf. They have 3 free internet computers, where people...
Maritim u. Orangerie, am Schlossgarten: A Castle Bistro
bilgeez Says: This cafe is located at the Orangerie in Fulda, they have outdoor seating, may be only seasonal. If you go to Fulda outside the April-October months, may want to call to see if they are open. They do catering, also.They have typical cafe fare, coffee, tea, pastries,...
Club 24/ Museumskeller: the obvious choice these days
IceBear7 Says: Fulda is full of old Baroque-time buildings, that today are used as museums, administration, theatre and of course bars and restaurants. In a huge building we have the Vonderau Museum and close by the Museums Cafe (great during the day) and the Museums Keller (great early...
IceBear7 Says: They call themselves a bistro, and the interior is like an English pub with exotic touches - like the crocodiles. Busy place but more for a chat with the girls, not really party atmosphere. The former pharmacy Krokodil used to be in this building. It kept the name but the...
IceBear7 Says: The Rädchen is located in the pub quarter of Karl- and Kanalstraße in Fulda and is a perfect choice for some good food like soups, tex-mex food, huge breaksfast buffet on Sundays, (oh, maybe this should be a restaurant tip??), fair-trade-coffee and local...
fairy_dust Says: St. Boniface, the patron saint of Germany, is buried in Fulda so the Fulda area is one of the most devout Catholic regions in Germany. During the Days in the Diocese portion of World Youth Day 2005 (which was held in Germany that year), apparently the Diocese of Fulda hosted...
IceBear7 Says: The Christmas market in Fulda is one of the nicest I have ever seen. It's a wonderful atmosphere with the old buildings, the churches, lots of food and drinks, often there is snwo, people selling presents and you always meet a lot of friends. They have 70 booths this year...
fairy_dust Says: If you're looking for a nice side-trip to a quiet place away from the city, there are many little villages close to Fulda, such as Steinhaus and Margretenhaun. These are charming little storybook villages with white houses, winding roads, a stone church, and surrounded with...
IceBear7 Says: The category "off the beaten path" was invented for a place like Fürsteneck. Just a couple of houses, a pub and nothing else. Nowadays. Years and years ago there were some French guys passing by. Napolenon's soldiers on their way back from Leipzig after the battle of nations...
IceBear7 Says: A little mountain a few kilometers away from the city center - you can drive up there, have some great traditional food in the restaurant and a wonderful view over the whole city and over to the Rhön mountains. And you only meet locals!
bilgeez Says: Milseberg is a popular place for locals to go hiking, spend Sunday afternoon, and talk to the cows they meet along the way. (Well, at least I did!) There are several hiking trails on Milseberg, mostly kept up by the Rhoenklub, a nature, culture and ecology group from...
Gliders and ski runs and a spy station, oh my!
bilgeez Says: Wasserkuppe is in the Rhoen Highlands just east of Fulda. At this location is an old spy station from the Cold War days. Since the old East German border is literally at the bottom of the hill, NATO spied on the Warsaw Pact from this point. Nowadays the area is home to a...
Weissdorn Says: For people that are looking for a very "German" city, Fulda is a good tip, because for a relatively large German City, it is surprisingly uncosmopolitan, because it’s not a city that has a lot of people who speak English fluently, and seems to have remained standing, while...

People know Fulda because at least once in your life you stop at the train station on your way from north to south or east to west - but not many get off the train. Or you pass the city while driving...

Fulda, my hometown. Most people ( who have actually heard of Fulda) remeber the name thanks to our former Archbishop Dyba. Fulda is actually a very neat city- very proud of it's "baroque" inner...
