Car Travel

The best way to travel is by car. The A-1 and A-7 autobahn network connects most major stops on the route, including Hanau, Fulda, Kassel, Göttingen, and Bremen, but you can't savor the fairy-tale country from this high-speed superhighway. Bremen is 60 km (35 miles) northwest of Hannover.

The Fairy-Tale Road incorporates one of Germany's loveliest scenic drives, the Wesertalstrasse, or Weser Valley Road (B-80 and B-83), between Hannoversch-Münden and Hameln; the total distance is approximately 103 km (64 miles).
