バートエムスターの滝・トップ9

One of the lesser-known gems of the mountain park

great, always worth a trip

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

The mountain park has various stone bridges, which are often narrow and very nostalgic. The most famous bridge is the Devil's Bridge. The Devil's Bridge in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park in Kassel has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013. The bridge, cast from iron in 1826 (a previous structure was made of wood), spans a waterfall at the Höllenteich.

The poser and self-promoter corner par excellence, an eye-catcher both with and without large amounts of water. Be careful with the railing. One side needs to be reworked

Fantastic bridge over the Peneus cascades
