Introducing Fulda
Founded in 744 by Benedictine monks as a monastery town at the behest of the English missionary St Boniface, Fulda remains strongly influenced by its religious roots. With many fine churches, an interesting grand palace and a large baroque district, it rewards even a flying visit. Those who like hang-gliding, skiing or rock-climbing will enjoy the beautiful Rhön nature park and its highest mountain, the Wasserkuppe, accessible from Fulda.

The Hauptbahnhof is at the northeastern end of Bahnhofstrasse, five minutes from the baroque Altstadt (Old Town), which begins just west of Universitätsplatz. Turn right at the corner of Universitätsplatz and Rabanusstrasse to get to the Stadtschloss, at the northern end of the Altstadt. The Dom and Michaelskirche are just west of the Stadtschloss. The bus station is at the southern end of the Hauptbahnhof.
