The half-timbered and three-river town of Hann Münden, located in the GrimmHeimat of North Hesse and the beautiful Weserbergland region, is worth a visit at any time of year. While in spring and summer it is nestled in the green forests of the Münden Nature Park on the rivers Weser, Werra, and Fulda and attracts numerous cycling and hiking enthusiasts, in winter a cozy flair unfolds in the picturesque old town. For many years now, the Ferry Gate Tower has been transformed into a 40-meter-high Christmas candle, illuminated in red and with a yellow flame visible from afar, to set the mood for Advent. The Christmas street lighting and an avenue of lovingly decorated fir trees in front of the shops in the city center complete the Christmas setting.
