Nowhere else can you experience the stars of the German-speaking literary scene as closely as at the Literary Spring in the homeland of the Brothers Grimm<\/a>. In 2026, spring in North Hesse will once again begin with a journey into the world of literature \u2013 and Overlook Lodge in Kellerwald is your perfect accommodation for this special event. <\/p>

From March 20 to 29, 2026, a diverse festival program<\/a> awaits you, featuring over two dozen readings, discussions, and recitations. The organizers \u2013 three hotels in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district \u2013 deliberately scheduled the opening for the day of the astronomical start of spring. Supported by more than 30 regional partners, the festival offers a unique combination of literature, landscape, and hospitality. <\/p>

Festival director Christiane Kohl<\/a>, herself a writer and journalist, once again announces prominent authors who will appear in North Hesse. The goal, she states, is to capture what moves people \u2013 and to provide them with guidance. Proven highlights include the gourmet dinners by Michelin-starred chef Erik Arnecke<\/a> on the first Sunday and Monday, as well as the literary revue with actor Michael Quast<\/a> in a former cowshed. <\/p>

Your Accommodation in the Heart of the Festival: Overlook Lodge<\/strong><\/p>

Overlook Lodge is quietly and naturally situated in Kellerwald \u2013 right in the heart of Grimm Country. From here, you can easily reach the event venues while enjoying stylish relaxation amidst nature. After a day full of inspiration, unwind on your terrace or end the evening with a glass of wine. <\/p>

The complete program will be published at www.literarischer-fruehling.de<\/a> in early December. There you can also book tickets or subscribe to the free newsletter, which will inform you about all dates and changes. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
