    Nice place for a nice photo

      From the top you have a wonderful view over the plants!

        The Grand Cascade was created by Marinus Cadart in 1676. Its massive sandstone shells are richly decorated with stalactite-like pendants and shells, and sculptures in the niches.

        A staircase leads up to the right and left, decorated with gods.

        The cascade is one of the water features in the Herrenhausen Gardens.

          It's definitely even nicer in summer with water. Now in winter it is also an eye-catcher

            One of the oldest buildings in the park: dating from 1676.

              A classic spot for a quick photo, because it's close to the entrance. However, the garden is just beginning there. Be careful on the steps; its age is showing.

                The Grand Cascade in the Great Garden consists of four six-tiered watercourses, each of whose individual basins is decorated with stalactite-like pendants and shells.
                In two of the niches are two larger-than-life sculptures depicting Venus and Leda.

                  In principle, the cascade looks very beautiful, especially when the water is actually flowing, which apparently isn't always the case.
                  Nevertheless, I find this structure somewhat out of place, or like a deliberately placed "work of art," when viewed from a distance.

                    Caution is advised when walking over the cascade and onto the observation deck. Some of the slabs are loose.

                      A real eye-catcher and an ingenious work of art, with the water merrily rushing down it.
