Steinfurth, just outside Bad Nauheim, is the oldest rose village in Germany and boasts some glorious parks. It also provides the venue for the Rose Festival, ending 16 July 2012. This romantic flower is, of course, the focus of the festival. As well as a rose market, rose show and a rose museum, visitors can look forward to a large marquee on the festival grounds and a programme of events for young and old alike.
