With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to explore all that Marburg, 20 miles away, has to offer. St. Elizabeth Church, Landgrafenschloss and Kaiser Wilhelm Tower alone make the drive out worth it. Situated 25 miles away, Kassel is another popular tourist destination. If you stop by, make sure you check out Wilhelmshoehe Park, Schloss Wilhelmshoehe and Loewenburg Castle.
