    Tips

    Until the middle of the 18th century, the people of Waldecker got their water from three springs, which still supply water today. Five wells were dug between 1745 and 1751, which supplied the population with water until 1912.
    From 1901, Mayor Wiesemann set about creating a central water supply for the city. Some springs were tapped in the "Bärental" and the water was pumped with a motor-driven pump into the newly built elevated tank on the "Elsterberg". In 1911 the aqueduct was built and put into operation on the 16th of Jutri 1912.
    Today the Elsterberg is a beautiful vantage point of the castle, only a few remains of the wall are reminiscent of the old elevated tank...

        A wonderful view of the castle and the Eder reservoir. Erek, the ruler of the Hollen, stands at the foot of the mountain.
