Wilhelmshöhe Castle is located in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park in Kassel. The castle, designed in the classicism style from 1786 to 1798, was built for Landgrave Wilhelm IX. (from 1803 Elector Wilhelm I). It is internationally known for its current use as a museum, which contains, among other things, the antique collection and the Old Masters Picture Gallery. The museum in the Weißenstein wing with the only authentic remaining rooms of the landgraves is also very important. Since June 23, 2013, the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park and the castle have been a UNESCO world heritage site. (Source: Wikipedia)

A very nice, but entertaining bike path. The R1 is optimally signposted and leads through small villages and larger towns.

the fulda cycle path from kassel to hann.münden is great to ride ....

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.

Several museums and collections are housed in Wilhelmshöhe Palace: in the middle section is the famous picture gallery of the old masters, the collection of antiquities and the graphic collection. The castle museum can be found in the Weißenstein wing. And the chapel in the church wing is popular for weddings.

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.

Great bike bridge. Too bad there aren't more of them. The story that happened nearby a hundred years ago is interesting: In 1920 a large hydroelectric power station was to be built, but because coal was becoming spotty cheap at the time, construction was halted. 100 years later shocking to hear. And the wrong decision.

Impressive building, which can also be visited. There is a locality next to the main building. If you step out of the main entrance you have a sensational view over the park area up to the Hercules.
