Green World Heritage high above Kassel

Over 800 years of history on around 240 hectares: The globally unique Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe shows how garden art developed in Europe - and how rulers used it to showcase their power. Nowhere else was a park of this size built on a steep slope. The water staging on the mountain is also remarkable: In a tremendous spectacle, it cascades from the Hercules Monument over artificial rock formations. Cascades and a Aqueduct Since 2013, the park with the historical water features has been counted among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The traces of the long park history from the small monastery to the monumental Baroquegarden  From the French baroque garden to the English landscape garden, many elements are visible in various places. Numerous parts of the park are still original. The variety of trees and plants is also unique, including some that are over 200 years old.
