Wolfgang-Bonhage-MUSEUM KORBACH / City model
The start is at the bronze city model directly in front of the Wolfgang-Bonhage-MUSEUM KORBACH. Learn interesting and curious facts about the city's history at 10 stations and get to know the many modern facets of Korbach. If you need a break in between, numerous cafés and restaurants in the old town invite you to linger.
You can find even more history from Korbach in our interactive "Treasure Hunt" app. The app contains additional information, tales and legends from the town's history and, of course, an interesting riddle to answer at each stop on the "Between the Walls" circular route. And if you answer all the questions correctly, a little surprise awaits you at the tourist information office.
This is how it works:
Visit grimmheimat.de/schatzsuche. There you can download the free app "Treasure hunt in the home of the Brothers Grimm" for your smartphone or tablet. You can find the Korbach city tour "Between the Walls" in the app under the menu item "Public Events".
You can obtain an information flyer with an overview map from the Korbach Tourist Information Office (Prof.-Bier-Str. 15).
We hope you enjoy discovering the old and modern town!
