The court and the Elector's guests were particularly amazed at the ingenious water features. In addition to fountains and water features, "magical machines" could be viewed. The power of the water set figures in motion - as if by magic. It is not surprising that Friedrich's garden artwork was praised by contemporaries as the "eighth wonder of the world".

In front of the Great Grotto there is a water basin with the figure of Rhenus ("Father Rhine"). The pools, restored in 1974, are not only in their original place, but also correspond to the original appearance. With the reclining "Father Rhine" and the portal of the Great Grotto, they are an eye-catcher in this corner of the palace garden.

Impressive fountain in the castle garden whose water is populated by a multitude of toads and newts.
