ニーデンシュタインの滝・トップ10

great, always worth a trip

There are several artificial waterfalls in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, starting at the Hercules monument on the summit of the Karlsberg at a height of 530 m. From there, the water flows through a cascade-like fountain system, over several ponds and waterfalls into the Lac See. From the Lac See it continues in the Schlossteichgraben, partly underground through Kassel and flows into the Fulda. Well worth seeing!

The small waterfalls at the entrance to the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, from the city side, are fed by the Lac lake. Very beautiful to look at.

Beautiful little waterfalls at the beginning of the Bergpark Wilhelmhöhe seen from the city side. This is also where the terminus of the S-Bahn line 1 with the visitor center is located.

Several smaller waterfalls complete the water features below the lake.

From the Devil's Bridge there is a good view of the aqueduct and the Peneus Cascades, where the water falls down to the castle lake.

Very nice photogenic place, especially in autumn 🤙

The aqueduct is an imitation of a Roman water pipe and was built between 1788 and 1792 under the direction of Heinrich Christoph Jussow. To this day, it is the highest artificial waterfall in an artistically designed garden. Planned and built as an artificially dilapidated structure, the aqueduct breaks off abruptly after the 14th of its high arches. The incoming water falls 30 meters into the depths here. There are debris from the water pipe there, as if it had fallen from a previously intact structure. The ruined building was modern at the time the aqueduct was built. People had visited the originals in Italy and France and wanted to remind people at home of the Roman Empire and its progressiveness. The water flows over the Peneus cascades past the Jussow Temple into the fountain pond
