Michelstadt

Michelstadt is in South Hesse within the Odenwald region.

Understand
The highlight of Michelstadt is its picturesque medieval town centre.

By train
The Odenwaldbahn serves Michelstadt with trains running roughly every hour from the Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof. The trip from Darmstadt takes roughly 1 hour. Michelstadt, like Darmstadt, is within the public transportation network of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV). If 2-5 people are doing a day trip from Darmstadt, then a group day ticket (Gruppentageskarte) will be much more economical than buying single trip tickets.

By car
About one hour drive east of Bensheim

Get around
The town is very small and quite walkable.

Follow Bahnhofstraße from the railway station to reach the Altstadt (old town).

Buy
The town was known for its ivory carving, and a few shops selling ivory products remain open.

Eat
There are a number of restaurants, cafes and ice cream parlours (Eiscafe) in the Altstadt.
