Impressive Water Games: Kassel's spectacular tour in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe
This tour takes visitors on one of the most impressive discovery journeys in Kassel. In the UNESCO World Heritage Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, you will experience the famous water games where history, landscape architecture, and engineering have been working together for centuries.
A spectacle that can only be experienced on a few days of the year
Starting from Hercules, the tour follows the course of the water through historic pipelines, past the cascades, the Steinhöfer Waterfall, the Devil's Bridge, and the aqueduct. The finale with the fountain over 50 meters high provides a crowning conclusion to this atmospheric round tour.
History to touch in the Bergpark
The water games are considered an outstanding element of Kassel's cultural and park history. They demonstrate how impressively baroque staging, landscape design, and technical precision have been working together for over 300 years. This very connection makes the tour a cultural enrichment for guests who wish to understand Kassel more deeply.
The path along the water art
The tour lasts about two hours and is only accessible on foot. Since the Bergpark is situated on a slope and includes irregular paths and stairs without handrails, the offer is aimed at sure-footed guests with normal physical fitness. Sturdy footwear is definitely required here.
