Although Schlüchtern is a modern city, some streets still reveal the ancient structure of the medieval city, like the lovely little alleys downtown (Schmiedsgasse and Linsengasse).

At the heart of the city, one can find an especially appealing ensemble of must-see highlights like the historical town hall, St. Michael Church, and Benedictine Monastery. 

The Vollmerz city district, with its Ramholz Palace, Palace Park, and Steckelberg Castle, and the Elm district with its Brandenstein fortress, are both great destinations for excursions with the whole family. 

The diverse, spellbinding landscape with its beautifully bending Kinzig River, small bubbling brooks, lush meadows, green fields, and shady forests is the perfect stage for relaxing walks and revitalizing hikes.  

The surrounding area also offers several attractive highlights like the Rhön Biosphere Reservation, Spessart Nature Park, and Hoher Vogelsberg Nature Park, as well as charming cities like Steinau, Bad Soden-Salmünster, Gelnhausen (imperial palace), and Fulda (cathedral city).
