The enchanting town fascinates visitors with its medieval flair. To this day most of the town’s wall is still standing, surrounding the town. At the edge of town you can find the well-known ‘Freiland Museum’, a museum which teaches its visitors about how life used to be in the past. You can experience the old farms, churches, mills and inns on more than 12 hectares of land. After visiting the museum, we recommend a train ride on the museum train which takes you through four different towns in the Rhön.

Just a few minutes' walk from the Hotel Sonnentau, the newly designed Rhön Museum in Fladungen invites you on an exciting journey through the nature, culture and history of the Rhön. Modern exhibitions, impressive objects and interactive stations make this traditional museum a real experience - for explorers of all ages. Ideal for a varied excursion right on the doorstep!

Old handicraft techniques, animals on the pasture and the historic Rhön train make a visit to the museum particularly lively. An ideal destination for families, culture enthusiasts and anyone who wants to experience regional history up close!
