Some of the world’s best known Fairy Tale characters – Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella – all got their start in one particular area of Germany where the Brothers Grimm collected their famous Fairy Tales. Click on the button below to listen to this Travel Brigade episode where we take you on a trip along the “Fairy Tale Route.” We’ll visit the Brothers Grimm Museum and places where they lived and worked, as well as landscapes and castles that inspired these stories. We’ll take you to the tower that led to the Rapunzel story, the “Sleeping Beauty Castle,” an area where it’s tradition for girls to wear a red cape, and towns where they still celebrate the characters that are beloved by everyone from kids to grandparents. Enjoy the trip!
