Eschwege is a town in the district of Werra-Meißner-Kreis in north-east Hesse, central Germany. The town is located at the foot of a mountain close to the River Werra, in a valley basin which has several small lakes. You will find Kassel, which is the nearest city, approximately 50 kilometres to the north- west of Eschwege.
Hiring a car in Eschwege gives you the chance to head to the Werratalsee Lake which has its own rowing regatta course that is unique to the region. Thanks to an expansion of the lake, the area will have the ability to host international competitions as well as Hesse's own championships.
You can rent a car in Eschwege from our branch at Thüringer Straße 38 and drive to one of the many sporting events that the area is well known for, such as the popular WerraMan Triathlon held at the start of September.
The area is most famous for its music festival which lasts four days called Johannisfest and it draws several thousand tourists to the town every year in July. There are many activities to participate in, from wreath winding to the festival parade and there is even a large fireworks display.
