Marburg
Located in central Hesse on the banks of the river Lahn, Marburg is one of Germany's most distinctive university towns. Marburg is a fairy-tale university town closely associated with the Brothers Grimm, whose stairs, lanes and half-timbered houses seem straight out of a storybook. High above the town stands the Landgrave Castle with a spectacular panoramic view over the Lahn Valley. The vibrant student culture gives this medieval town a pleasantly youthful atmosphere.
