What to do and see in Hesse, Germany: The Best Ancient Ruins

June 28, 2021 Kelli Reichel

Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Messel Pit Fossil Site

Reviewed By AliceR641 - Hobart, Australia

Fantastic visitor centre which is both interactive and informative where you get to see some amazing fossils. There is also a lookout to complete your visit of the pit - once you access, it takes you back to the car park. Unfortunately a tour wasn't being undertaken whilst we were there, we spent quite a bit of time here and well worth the entry fee.
