Gersfeld

Gersfeld sits at 486 meters elevation in the Rhön Mountains, surrounded by natural parks and connected by the Fulda River system.

The town emerged around 744 when Saint Sturm established the Benedictine monastery in Fulda, leading to regional development and administrative structures.

The municipality maintains traditional Hessian celebrations throughout the year, incorporating local crafts, regional food specialties, and mountain folklore events.

The Fulda-Gersfeld Railway provides direct transportation access to the broader network, connecting travelers to major cities in the Hesse region.

The local thermal baths and wellness centers utilize the mountain air quality that earned Gersfeld its official designation as a Luftkurort.
