Watch the water features in action at Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe

One of the most famous sights in Kassel is the UNESCO World Heritage site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, which was developed over a period of three centuries into a masterpiece of Baroque landscape architecture. This style is characterized by a theatrical layout where the landscape itself tells a story. The park is the largest hillside park in Europe and attracts many tourists, especially for its spectacular water displays, which can be seen from May 1st to October 3rd, on Wednesdays and Sundays. At 2:30 p.m., more than 750,000 liters of water cascade down from the Hercules Monument. You can follow the flow of the water over a distance of 2.3 kilometers, which takes just under 1.5 hours, until it reaches the Grand Fountain. The sluices at each station are opened manually, so you’ll need to move quickly at times to keep up with the spectacle. You follow the stream from one feature to the next. Entrance to the park is free.
