풀다브뤼크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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 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.

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.

The Höllenteich, as well as the Steinhöfer waterfalls, the Teufelsbrücke and Herkules, are among the most beautiful excursion sites that I have hiked to. Shady in summer, beautiful in autumn, EVERYONE must have been here.

Class built, the architect has immortalized himself here in a grandiose way. I was very impressed.
