Old Wilhelmshöhe Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The old Wilhelmshöhe station is a relic of the disused Herkulesbahn. The line ran from the city center of Kassel up to near the Herkules and to the Hoher Gras. …

You can only give something historical to the castle. This works best on a portal and I have decided for the kassel.de/kultur/sehenswuerdigkeiten/Bergpark/01927/index.html. Schloss Wilhelmshöhe was under Landgrave Wilhelm IX. Built …

Great Fountain in the Castle Pond, Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe

Highlight • Monument

Impressive, world-wide unique technical achievement. The fountain is driven only by gravity and not by a pump.

View of the Teufelsbrücke and waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

Simply a very beautiful motif, the Devil's Bridge in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. Which was created as an arched bridge with a wooden railing. In 1826, the present Brückengitter was poured by the company Henschel.

Neptune Basin and the Cascades, Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe

Highlight • Monument

Just very impressive - and a bit crazy to build something like this. But to create something special you always need people with crazy ideas.

Jussow Temple at the Fountain Pond (Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe)

Since not much has been described here about the history of the temple, I would like to take this time. Nothing is easier than to take it from regiowiki.hna.de/Apollo-Tempel. So …

July 28, 2024,Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe - Wasserspiele

On the last day in the Kassel region, we visited the special attraction, the water features in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park. On a Sunday, of course, it was very busy, but it also spread out. It was definitely worth seeing this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From October 3rd to 6th, 2024, the city of Kassel will be illuminating the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, with stunning illuminations! We had the opportunity to enjoy the colorful productions and the equally impressive water features, great light art installations by international artists and fascinating 3D video projections on the palace facade of Wilhelmshöhe Palace!
An impressive …

Somehow we didn't like the Bergparkleuchten as much this time as we did last year! There were no truly spectacular light displays and almost everything was bathed in red light! It's a shame, as with an entrance fee of 12 euros our expectations were a little higher this time than last year's free event!

On Thursday I read about the Kassel Bergparkleuchten in the Hessenschau and replanned the weekend at short notice. It was a great experience, even if it was very busy as expected.

Last year 80,000 visitors were supposed to have come over the 4 days. This year the number of visitors was set at "only" 15,000 per day. At times it …
