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

The water flows under the bridge into the "Hell Pond", which is 10 metres lower and was created in 1792/93 by Heinrich Christoph Jussow. The bridge railing of the Devil's Bridge was cast in 1826 by the Henschel company, which had become famous for its locomotive construction. In Jussow's time, the bridge railing was still made of wood. The names of the Devil's Bridge and the Hell Pond are related to the adjacent Pluto Grotto. According to legend, Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld, is said to have sat in this grotto.

The Devil's Bridge and the surrounding nature are very impressive. If you are lucky enough to visit without large crowds of visitors, it is all the more worthwhile.

The park around the castle is beautifully laid out with flower borders and the café invites you to linger with tables in the countryside and a good offer.

The Jussow Temple was built from 1817 to 1818 according to plans by Heinrich Christoph Jussow. The temple stands at the fountain pond at the end of the Peneus Cascades. He finds his role model in Stowe, England. The Jussow Temple is still often referred to as the Temple of Apollo. The confusion stems from the fact that the Jussow Temple was built up the slope shortly after the demolition of the wooden Apollo Temple.

The Jussow Temple was built in 1818 and is located at the fountain pond.

The Teufelsbrücke and waterfall were modeled on a bridge in the Swiss Gotthard massif. The masses of water that flowed down when the snow melted made the man-made bridge a dangerous connection across the river.

The Steinhöfer waterfall represents a disused quarry. When the water flows over the stones, nature impressively reclaims its space.
