Hann. Münden Travel Guide
Introduction
Hann. Münden, formally Hannoversch Münden, is an absolute gem of a town, situated in the Weser Valley at the confluence of the Wera and Fulda rivers, where the two join to form the river Weser. It is filled with centuries-old half-timbered and Weser Renaissance buildings, some of them more than 600 years old. It has atmospheric squares and cobbled streets with outdoor cafés and quaint little shops. It also has a lovely Gothic church that holds some interest, as well as an impressive Renaissance town hall, some remnants of the medieval city walls, a 19th-century observation tower that rises above the old town, and Werabrücke, which has the distinction of being the oldest stone bridge in Germany. A Weser Renaissance-style palace, Weifenschloss, further adds to the visitor interest. Besides which, the town is a good base for cycling and hiking trips into the Weser Valley.
