By who travels through Fairy Tale Route in Germany, discover villages with charming little houses, woods, forests and even castles that seem to have come out of a children's story.
THE Fairy Tale Route is a route with 600 km, which goes from Hanau The Bremen at Germany, and enchants adults and children around the world for being the birthplace of the most famous authors of children's stories, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Therefore, during the trip, tourists can visit the house where the brothers spent their childhood and the university where they carried out some research.
In addition, at the visitation points and along the entire route, there are scenarios and protagonists set in the places that inspired the tales. Among the attractions, surprisingly, tourists can see the ruins of the castle in which, according to legend, Cinderella lived, in the town of Polle; Sleeping Beauty's castle in Sababurg; or also, attend an open-air show inspired by the work The Musicians of Bremen.
So, get to know some cities on the Fairy Tales Route and fall in love:
Hanau
First of all, the famous one for the jewelry stores: Hanau. The city is half an hour from Frankfurt and is therefore the starting point for the Fairy Tale Route. In addition, it is the birthplace of writers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
The Neusdadt Marketplatz also houses a national monument in honor of the brothers. However, Hanau is also one of the best preserved medieval towns in Germany.

Sababurg
Sababurg is where the story of Sleeping Beauty came to life. Originally known as Dornröschen (Rose of Thorns), the story originated in a castle from 1334, located in Sababurg, which since the end of the 19th century has been known as the official residence of the princess.
Therefore, the themed hotel currently operates on the site. Dornröschenschloss Sababurg, where Sleeping Beauty herself, surprisingly, appears to honor guests at the hotel's dinners.
