If you cycle upstream from Kassel on regional bicycle route R1 by the Fulda River, you can get to places like Rotenburg an der Fulda and Bad Hersfeld.
About 32 kilometers downstream from Kassel the Fulda River joins with the Werra to form the Weser, which eventually flows into the North Sea near Bremerhaven.

 A blonde Medea... by AndyRG
I was lucky to see an ancient greek tragedy (have a look at my Epidaurus' page) inside the castle -by Sababurg Theater- although I hadn't understand a lot, because of the language... Leave a Comment

A rarely visited place is the so-called Urwald Sababurg, approximately 25km outside of Kassel. It's a forest that has been left undisturbed for a long time. Therefore, trees grow chaotically, ferns grow rampant, and the air smells of fungi and rotten wood. The Urwald is a wonderful place for a walk.
Just next to it is the Sababurg with a small zoo. It's interesting for children as well as their parents.
The forest and zoo can be found when driving to Hofgeismar, 25km away from Kassel. Drive through the town and turn right approximately 500m after the town borders. It's another 10km to go. Leave a Comment

When in Kassel during wintertime, why not go skiing? Follow the Druseltalstrasse until you leave the city. Soon, you'll find a sign to the right that gives notice of the Herkules, Kassel's most famous landmark. Pass it and go on for another two or so kilometer. Then you will reach the Hohes Gras (high grass), the biggest hill in Kassel's vicinity. It's 615m high and usually, there's at least some snow in wintertime. If it's enough you can go skiing or sledging. Another famous place to do that is the Essigberg, that you will reach on the same road. Usually, there are hundreds of little children that enjoy racing down the hill and trying out the jumps.
(Don't ask me why I create this tip in the middle of June, but I just felt like it...!) Leave a Comment

 Kassel - Bismarck Tower by Vita500
Constructed in 1904 on the Brasselsberg within Kassel's Habichtswald, the Tower is 25.5m high and with an altitude of 434m above sea level, it offers a splendid view across Kassel.
Starting from a parking lot along Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse just beneath the Brasselsberg, it takes an approx. 30 - 45 minute walk up the hill. Leave a Comment

The path was created in the late 1940s and has since become a popular recreation area for people from Kassel and the vicinity. Leave a Comment

 Sailplanes by King_Golo
If you have a lot of time, there are regular classes. I'm not sure whether you can actually participate in a flight without having taken the course, but maybe the guys from the sailplane club can help you - see website below.
If you go for it, tell me! I'll be more than happy to take pics from the ground ;)! Leave a Comment

Besides that, there is also the Schloss (Castle) which can be visited.
Take a look at the travelogues to see more.

The wallpaper museum may not sound very exciting but it is definitely worth the visit. Leave a Comment
