Jussow Temple at the Fountain Pond (Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe)

You can only give something historical to the castle. This works best on a portal and I have decided for the kassel.de/kultur/sehenswuerdigkeiten/Bergpark/01927/index.html. Schloss Wilhelmshöhe was under Landgrave Wilhelm IX. Built …

December 23, 2025,Kassel / Herkules und Weihnachtsmarkt

Last hike before Christmas 🎄🥾
We spontaneously took the train to Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe and from there hiked through the impressive Wilhelmshöhe Mountain Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site).

We visited Wilhelmshöhe Palace, climbed up to the Hercules monument, and continued on to Löwenburg Castle.
