Water games in the Wilhelmshöhe Mountain Park

Hercules Oktogon in Kassel

( MeineCard+ Partners) The landmark of Kassel – the Hercules – crowns the Bergpark at a height of 530 metres with a unique view over the city of Kassel and the surrounding area. The monumental building consists of three parts: the rock-like cave construction – here also the water games have their exit – the open octogonal Belvedere and the pyramid with the 8.30 metre high copper-driven Hercules figure.

The entire Bergpark complex was commissioned at the end of the 17th century by Landgrave Carl (reg. 1677–1730), who from 1701 entrusted the Italian architect and water builder Giovanni Francesco Guerniero (1665–1745) with further planning. Under his direction, the building was completed until 1717. The figure of Hercules was created by the Augsburg goldsmith Johann Jacob Anthoni as one of the earliest copper driven monumental statues worldwide.

For the Landgrave, the building was a symbol of the triumph of art over nature and the omnipotence of man's creative power. In the form of Hercules, who embodies power, courage and wisdom in mythology, he saw his own virtues as rulers. The entire complex from the Hercules building, the caves in front and the water art is thus a model example of baroque architecture. This princely representation of power, which is also reflected in the monumental design of the park, is unique worldwide. It makes up the so-called »Outstanding Universal Value« of the World Heritage Site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.

It is recommended to walk from Hercules down to the castle. With good condition you go the opposite way. The path takes longer than the optics suggests. You should take 3 hours (on water play days 4 hours) if you also want to take the Löwenburg (the Neuschwanstein des Landgrafs).

On water playdays, definitely go with the water from top to bottom!

Park your car at the Schloss Wilhelmshöhe visitor centre behind the tram stop. Take tram 1 to ICE-Bhf. Wilhelmshöhe. Change to tram 3 in the direction of Drusetal. From there take bus 22 directly to Hercules. At the water play days (Mi, So, Festivities) the bus 23 runs between Schloss Wilhelmshöhe and Hercules.

Sababurg Zoo (at the Sleeping Beauty Castle)

( MeineCard+ Partners) Below the Sleeping Beauty Fairy Castle SababurgThe 130-hectare Sababurg zoo is located in the middle of the Reinhardswald forest, right next to the impressive jungle. It lies between Hofgeismar and Wesertal, about 20km north of Kassel. This zoo impresses with its extensive naturalness.

Set up in 1571 by Landgrave Wilhelm IV at the foot of his hunting lodge Sababurg and surrounded with a sandstone wall from the stones of the former castle Schöneberg, he is one of the first European zoos.

Wild animals such as wolf, lynx, wisent or deer and wild horses can be experienced in spacious grounds on the 130-hectare park. Farm animals threatened by extinction or exotic species such as penguins, meerkats and cattas can be experienced up close in walk-in facilities or at show feedings.It becomes spectacular when birds of prey fly directly over visitors quickly at the flight show.Animal Park Museum and BeesWelt invite you to participate with interactive stations.

The Dornröschenschloss adjacent to the zoo is currently closed due to extensive renovation work. However, the castle is accessible on weekends in the summer months.

The Sababurg Animal Park is embedded in the Buchen & Eichen-Jungle ReinhardswaldThe Reinhardswald is one of the largest forest areas and one of the least populated areas in Germany. In addition, there are extensive sheltered forest areas or forests.

A trip to this region can be worthwhile depending on the interest. Ideally, it is combined with a visit to the Three Rivers City Hann. MündenOne of the most beautiful half-timbered cities in Germany, Alexander Humbold once said that "the city is one of the seven most beautiful cities in the world.
