Lindenfels

Few towns in Hesse have a history as closely tied to the fortunes of a hilltop castle as Lindenfels. Set in the Odenwald uplands, the town grew beneath Lindenfels Castle, whose surviving walls and towers still define its historic centre. The castle entered the possession of the Electoral Palatinate in the 13th century and served for centuries as the seat of a local administrative district. Timber-framed houses, narrow lanes and the Evangelical church give the compact old town a distinctly regional character. Woodland, walking routes and the Odenwald’s rolling ridges begin immediately beyond its streets.
