バートエムスター周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

With its striking shape, the Hoher Dörnberg is the landmark of the Habichtswald Nature Park, where archaeological finds confirm settlement during the Ice Age. Its geology and cultural history, as well as its unique flora and fauna, have long attracted many people. Species-rich juniper heaths, the treeless plateau, and the striking Helfensteine rocks offer a diverse range of hiking opportunities.

The Hohe Dörnberg was selected in 2020 by the Presidium for Geosciences and Geotechnologies and certified with the title "National Geotope"! This award has been presented since 2006. There are a total of 77 significant geotopes in Germany, ten of which are in Hesse. – The Hoher Dörnberg is one of them! He is thus in a row with the "Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" or the "Grube Messel".

Easy to hike mountain peak with a great view. The summit tour is to be embedded in a beautiful circular hike. Flyers for the possible path constellations are available in the nature park center at the Helfensteinen. The stamping point for the summiteers of North Hesse is also located near the summit.

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.

Woooow, like a movie set. The sight knocks every ambitious hiker's socks off 😍

Only online viewing, that's really annoying if you had a long journey. Well, you could have informed yourself in advance on the website. But all the beauties around it make it a nice experience anyway.

Unfortunately, the castle is currently being renovated, but a tour around it and through the castle garden is still worthwhile. 🥾🥾
