[edit][add listing] Do

There is an annual festival called the "Schelmenmarkt" (english translation?). It features some rides such as a roler coaster and two or three carouselles. This is probably a good occasion to get to see the town at its best.

[edit][add listing] Buy

In Gelnhausen, there are a few shops, but they are not too good...

[edit][add listing] Eat

Gelnhausen has a surprisingly wide range of restaurants. The Italian Sardina (pronounced "sar-din-ee-yah" by most Germans and Americans) is good for pasta, pizza, etc.

Schelm von Bergen, in the Obermarkt, or "above market", of Gelnhausen, offers amazing traditional German food, with a gourmet twist. Schnitzel and kasespatzle are probably the best two items on the menu, but there's nothing subpar about the food at this atmospheric venue.

[edit][add listing] Drink

As in most towns around Frankfurt you will have no difficulties finding the famous Ebbelwei (apple wine).
