In the heart of Germany, with borders to six other federal states, lies Hessen. How in no other federal state wide nature areas and close industrial areas hit here on each other: 40% of the country are covered with forests, and on 45% of the total area agriculture is pursued. In Hessen one can walk for days by the Taunus, the Ode forest, the Spessart, the Vogelsberg and the Rhön. But at the same time is the Rhine-Main-area one of the biggest industrial and service
centres of Germany.
