Waldhessen the region is around Bad Hersfeld, Bebra and the Hessian part of the Werra valley near Heringen in the "potash triangle". The district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg is marketing itself to tourism under the term "Waldhessen".
background
On Wikivoyage, the Waldhessen region deviates from the "politically determined" Waldhessen tourism region in order to create more clarity for the reader. The Knüllgebirge and the Middle Fulda valley are independent regions here. Like Waldhessen, these are assigned to the greater region of North Hesse. In some cases, cities and municipalities are also assigned to neighboring regions where it makes sense from the perspective of the traveler.
