East Hesse is lying in German federal state Hesse.
Regions
- The Hessian one is in East Hesse Rhön.
- Bergwinkel - The mountainous area around is called "Bergwinkel" Schluechtern. The foothills of the Vogelsberg, Spessart and Rhön meet here in the Schlüchtern valley. The Rhine / Weser watershed is also located here on the ridge.
About the term East Hesse: The region is not clearly delimited. For example, in the district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg, opinions differ as to whether one belongs to East Hesse or North Hesse. The district was added to Wikivoyage as the region of Waldhessen to Northern Hesse.
Also in the area of Kinzigtals it is not exactly clear where to draw the line. Depending on the state of opinion, Gelnhausen, for example, still just belongs to East Hesse. For others it is already in the eastern Rhine-Main area. In Wikivoyage, Gelnhausen is still part of southern Hesse and thus part of the eastern Rhine-Main area.
