"Heli" enchants both residents and visitors with its historic old town with many striking half-timbered houses, small alleys, parks and gardens as well as dreamy backyards. The town of “Zur Lichten Aue” from 1289 can also be reached along an important holiday route, the “German Fairy Tale Route”. Because here they are still alive, the fairy tales, myths and legends about Frau Holle.

In Hessisch Lichtenau you will meet this multi-faceted figure again and again: in the Frau Holle-Park, on the Frau Holle-Rundweg (where you can explore the old town very well) or in the Holleum, the Frau Holle-Museum.
