ヴォルフハーゲン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Here you enter a place steeped in history: finds from prehistoric times prove a settlement as early as the Neolithic Age. The oldest pottery sherds found here date from the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The ramparts on the largest rock of the Helfenstein, with an artificial ditch about 100 meters long from the 12th/13th century, indicate a former high medieval castle.

The imposing dam forms the second largest reservoir in Germany in terms of area and the third largest in terms of volume. The wall is now over a hundred years old, 48 meters high and 400 meters long. It is always freely accessible and offers a great view of the surroundings.

The water bubbles over the cascades, the Steinhöfer waterfall, the Devil's Bridge and falls over the aqueduct and the Peneus cascades down to the castle pond. Here the water pressure causes the "Great Fountain" to shoot up over 50 meters. This spectacle is the conclusion and highlight of the water games. Always on Wednesdays, Sundays and on public holidays at certain times.

The statue, which is considered a landmark of the city of Kassel, is located at the top of a pyramid that stands on the octagon, the giant castle. Today, the name "Hercules" not only stands for the statue, but for the entire building, which is also the starting point for the summer water games in the mountain park. The octagon and the Hercules go back to different construction phases. Since June 23, 2013, the Hercules - as part of the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe - has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an example of absolutist architecture.

From here there is a great view of the cascades. It is particularly beautiful during the water games. Nature, landscape, art and architecture have created a magnificent joint work here.

A true natural wonder - found by the Celts, who probably built a place of worship here on the Helfensteinen. In the High Middle Ages there was a castle on the 510 m high Helfenstein. At the Helfensteinen you can't help but be amazed! In addition to the mighty basalt rocks, the view is absolutely fascinating! The Helfensteine can hardly be put into words - you simply have to have been there and walked over the stones and felt the fascinating atmosphere up there! By the way: The Helfensteine were also the location for Ostwind 1 & 5 and the unlimited freedom they radiate in the films also radiates in reality! Sturdy shoes are a must here. Ascent and descent are, at least from the café side, not without problems! A detour from the rear up to the Helfenstein is a little gentler.

Nice view of the Hercules. Besides, it looks really cool too. Definitely worth making a detour there.

This show is definitely worth seeing. And as described in the commentary here, it can also be easily managed with a bike, luggage, bus and train: https://www.komoot.de/tour/556470579
