Germany The Fairy-Tale Road Gelnhausen

Schmidtgasse Gelnhausen by chrisar676

Gelnhausen is a town in Hesse, Germany. According to the Institut Géographique National since 1 January 2007 the geographic centre of the European Union is exactly located on a wheat field outside the town. Barbarossa erected one castle here. There is still a medieval town center with its famous church, St. Mary Church (Marienkirche), that exhibits both romanesque and gothic architecture. Gelnhausen castle was erected at the time of Gelnhausen's foundation, southeast of the town on an island in the Kinzig River. Today it is the best preserved palatinate castle from this era, with remarkable masonry.

Set above the Kinzig River, Gelnhausen was founded in the 12C and is known for its half-timbered houses and witch lore.

My experience with RoutePerfect was better than I expected. The website was intuitive, the staff were extremely helpful and I can't think of a single bad experience with the RoutePerfect service. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were what we expected them to be, except one which was WAY better than expected. With your site, I was able to plan our honeymoon with ease, without any travel agents. I'm lead to believe that we got the best hotel prices as well and I was happy with what we paid. I managed to save a lot of money for shopping :) Our Italy trip was amazing, and exactly how we imagined.

My experience with RoutePerfect was fantastic! I really appreciate your service's help in planning my Europe trip! The planning process was seamless Everything was just fantastic with RoutePerfect, so again I thank you. I was very satisfied - 10 out of 10 with RoutePerfect. The package price was reasonable. In fact, I have already told several friends who are planning upcoming Europe trips about it, and they will be using it!
