Germany’s heartland is most famous for the skyscraper-studded financial capital of Frankfurt am Main. But hills, farmlands, and gentle river valleys dominate the country’s bucolic heart.

Highlights include neoclassical Weimar, art-filled Kassel, medieval and renaissance Erfurt, and the legend-steeped Wartburg fortress.
