From the Giant's Head Basin down to the Neptune Basin, the cascades are interrupted by a total of three oval pools.

The cascades are 210 meters long and 12 meters wide.

If you arrive at the Neptune Basin before the water, you can still clearly see the Roman sea god. Afterward, he is hidden by the falling water.

The staging from Hercules over the cascades to the Neptune Basin is also known as the "Baroque Water Games."

---

Down by the Neptune Basin, there is a cascade restaurant on the side.

---

The water games take place on Wednesdays, Sundays, and public holidays from May 1 to October 3. Admission to the park and the water games is free.
