What is it that Makes Frankfurt-Hahn Airport So Special?

A Letter to You by the Websites Executive Editor

Dear Guest:

Did you know that on your arrival at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, you have arrived in the heart of Germany's breathtaking Rhineland-Palatinate region? A region full of surprises, with a real treasure trove of sights waiting to be explored...and nature at its best!

I invite you to be my guest and explore on this website the unusually rich variety of tourist and cultural attractions you haven't heard of yet, but that are among the insider tips of travellers from around the world visiting Germany.

Rhineland-Palatinate is the westernmost of the Federal Republic's state and not as well known outside of Germany. As a tourist travelling to Germany you might know a little about the most popular destinations like Bavaria, Berlin, Black Forest, Cologne (Köln), Frankfurt, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Munich (München), Rhine Valley and Stuttgart. But what you really should know is the well-kept secret, that few other regions in Germany have such a wealth of attractions for visitors to explore, enjoy and experience than Rhineland-Palatinate.

"What is it that makes Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (and its location in Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate) so special?", you will ask.

1. Six Famous Wine-Growing Regions

Wine naturally plays a key role in Rhineland-Palatinate, which is home to no fewer than six famous wine-growing regions: the Middle Rhine Valley, Rheinhessen, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Nahe, Ahr and Pfalz. Around 70% of all German wine is produced in Rhineland-Palatinate, and every year you can try the state's tasty wines at more than a thousand wine and wine-grower's festivals and fairs. You can explore this magnificent landscape full of vineyard terraces close up following the German Wine Route, Moselle Wine Route, Saar Riesling Route, Rhein Route, Nahe Wine Route and Ahr Red Wine Trail. Everywhere you go, you will find wineries and restaurants serving a variety of fine wine and other regional specialities. Wine tasting sessions at the local vineyards are very popular and there are a number of excellent vineyard guesthouses along the way.

2. More than 500 Castles, Castle Ruins, and Palaces

Rhineland-Palatinate is also a state of fairy tales and legends — you will find more than 500 castles, castle ruins, fortresses and palaces in some of the region's most charming spots. Alone in the 65 km long Upper Central Rhine Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — between Bingen and Koblenz you will find more than 40 impressive castles, castle ruins and fortresses that tower above the Rhine River. Roughly one castle every two kilometres. Such a concentration of castles within such a small area is to be found nowhere else in the world! These relics of a colourful past are among the most popular destinations for visitors to Germany. Here you can follow in the footsteps of knights, take a step back in time and really enjoy history. With staged performances and demonstrations, medieval tournaments conjure up images of times long past.

3. Germany's Most Beautiful River Valleys

Experience nature at its best in Rhineland-Palatinate, a region where you can still enjoy a wealth of idyllic picture book scenery with spectacular panoramic views and fascinating natural features. Germany's most beautiful river valleys (Rhine, Moselle, Nahe, Ahr and Lahn) twist and turn their way through the region. You can walk through terraced vineyards cascading down hill slopes, trek from one castle to another, go in search of the Romans and feel a hint of the Mediterranean in the south of the region. Almost 1,000 kilometres of exceptionally well signposted and closely networked hiking trails (Rheinsteig, Eifelsteig, Saar-Hunsrück-Steig and Westerwald Steig) offers you opportunities for ambitious long-distance walking tours or for a variety of short tours.

5. Long-Distance Cycle Routes of 1,200 Kilometres in Length

Bicyclists love Rhineland-Palatinate because it is everything a cyclist could hope for, with its outstanding tours that take in the scenic and cultural highlights of this fabulous region. The long-distance cycle routes (with a total length of 1,200 kilometres, all excellently signposted and easily accessible) run along the valleys of the Rhine, Moselle, Ahr, Nahe, Saar and Kyll rivers. Entire regions such as the Palatinate, Rhine Valley or the Moselle stage special cycling events, where cars are banned and cyclists have top priority. It is pure cycling heaven.

6. Wellness Breaks at 20 Spas and Health Resort Towns

If you are in need of a wellness break for body and soul, it is all here! At the 20 approved spas and health resort towns in Rhineland-Palatinate you will find services and facilities organised in the categories Select (exclusive and beauty holiday), Wellness (wellness, relaxation and health), Sporting (fitness and activity) and Explorer (special experiences for getting to know the region). All bearing the German Spa Association's seal of approval, which means you can be confident that your wellness break will be of first-class quality, based on a sound holistic health concept and delivered by expert medical staff and therapists.

I am a native of Rhineland-Palatinate and you can see that I am an enthusiast about my beautiful homeland. So please follow my invitation to explore the rich variety of tourist and cultural attractions of Rhineland-Palatinate. Because there is so much, so close — within easy reach of Frankfurt-Hahn Airport!
