Lauterbach

The home of Hesse's oldest beer, Lauterbach preserves its quintessential German spirit and appearance through a bevy of attractions and landmarks. A walk through its historic core or Altstadt brings about a twinge of nostalgia, as you walk past half-timbered homes, the Ankerturm-a remainder of the city's ancient ramparts, and the iconic stepping stones that lead to the water fountain. Tucked into its romantic alleys and bylanes are quaint cafes and restaurants that serve hearty local cuisine. You can also undertake one of the many interesting tours offered by the city. Information regarding the tours can be found at the Stadtmühle Tourist Center in the heart of town.
