About Kirchheim
Kirchheim is a municipality of about 3,700 people spread over twelve districts on the southern slope of the Knüllgebirge, at around 244 metres. The local hill is the Eisenberg, 636 metres high, where a mountain hotel and a holiday village were built in the 1970s. The Seepark is a 10 hectare lake made by damming the Ibra. The homes are packed into one small spot rather than scattered, most sleep around six, many have a fireplace and none has a pool. This is a place for walking, short drives and lake time. For an old town and a spa park, you drive to Bad Hersfeld. With under four thousand residents, expect little open late in the evening.

per nightKirchheim villa holidays: questions answered
Is there a lake in Kirchheim?
Yes. The Seepark Kirchheim is a lake of about 10 hectares, formed by damming the Ibra between Reimboldshausen and Kemmerode.
Is Kirchheim noisy because of the motorways?
It can be. The A4 and A7 meet at a three-way junction in Kirchheim, built in 1935, so check on the listing map how close a home sits to it.
Kirchheim or Bad Hersfeld for a holiday base?
Kirchheim gives you the countryside and the lake. Bad Hersfeld, 10 km east, has the old town, spa park and festival, plus the station for trains from Frankfurt.
What is the Eisenberg near Kirchheim?
It is the local mountain, 636 metres high on the southern slope of the Knüllgebirge, with a mountain hotel and a holiday village built in 1975.
Are Kirchheim homes big enough for groups?
Yes, for mid-sized ones. Most sleep around six and some sleep eight, but none sleeps more, so very large parties will need two homes.
