A spectacle of water, architecture, and history
Hundreds of visitors watch every year as the water flows down the mountain through historical pipes and becomes visible at the cascades in front of Herkules, at the Steinhöfer waterfall, at the Devil's Bridge, and at the aqueduct. The tour reveals the baroque staging of the Bergpark, where landscape architecture, technical ingenuity, and cultural heritage come together in a unique way.
