Steinau an der Strasse is the magical town where the authors of some of the best loved children’s fairy stories spent their formative years. It is where the Brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm spent their childhood. They wrote the enchanting stories such as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella or Hansel and Gretel.

Steinau is situated in the Kinzig valley about 50 minutes by train away from Frankfurt. It is like stepping back in time to a fairy tale town with a street of medieval half timbered houses, a splendid renaissance palace, a Puppet Theatre and a magnificent Town hall. The oldest, permanently inhabited house dates back to1520 and it is also a private museum and well worth a visit.

The beauty of Steinau is that almost all its splendid attractions are within a short walk of where ever you choose to stay.

CNN) In Germany and its European neighbors Austria and Switzerland, a long weekend in a converted barn – sleeping on a bed of freshly raked hay – is fast becoming the ‘staycation’ of choice.

Heuhotels (‘heu’ is German for hay) offer exactly what their name suggests. For as little as eight euros ($11) a night backpackers, couples, families and, in the case of one “hay hotel” in central Germany – ‘groups of up to 60′ – can rest their heads in a way nature intended. They are popular among lovers seeking romps in the hay, say hotel staff.

With private bedrooms and the option for “real” beds, the ‘Zum Alten Marstall’ is at the “luxury” end of the market. It also takes advantage of its position at the foot of the 11th century Castle Guttenberg…
