Der Bergpark ist wirklich wunderschön - in jeder Jahreszeit. Im Sommer mit den Wasserspielen ist er natürlich sehr voll, das hab ich vor Jahren mal erlebt, aber die Wasserspiele sind wirklich toll. Aber auch im Herbst hat der Park viel zu bieten. Tolle Farben, kaum was los. Man kann unendlich lang über die vielen Wege spazieren und die Ruhe genießen. Für den Herkulesaufstieg sollte man eine gewisse Fitness mitbringen, denn man erklimmt dort viele Stufen, aber es lohnt sich für einen gigantischen Ausblick über Kassel. Ein wirklich tolles UNESCO Welt Naturerbe!!:)

Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is beautiful and it's something that should be on everyone's list. The place is huge so it's advisable to go early so you can spend time walking around the park. Some parts are under renovation as of now but not a show stopper.

Amazing Park with a lot to offer: castles, monuments, waterfalls, fountains. The park keeps its splendor even during winter time, when covered with snow and ice. At the same time just pay attention that most of the paths are pretty slippery and may cause some difficulty into reaching your destination higher in the park. Furthermore, due to covid restrictions the castles are closed or up for renovations.

Beautiful view, amazing place. MUST SEE. Nice hiking arey

Toller Park und immer einen Besuch wert. Bei uns war das Wetter leider nicht so schön, aber die Aussicht war trotzdem toll. Es gibt dort viele Stufen, weshalb man auf festes Schuhwerk achten sollte.

Sehr schöner Aus-/Überblick über Kassel. Wir hatten Glück zwischen vielen Wolken die Sonne zu erwischen. Der Wind im Schatten war unangenehm, nichts desto trotz hatten wir sehr viel Spaß. Wir werden das nochmals im Sommer genießen

Wunderschöner Ort um etwas abzuschalten und die tollen Eindrücke auf sich wirken lassen. Sportlich unterwegs ist man auch, wegen der vielen Treppen. ;) Leider war die Statue eingenistet und das Wasserspiel lief nicht. War trotzdem toll dort.

Beautiful park in Kassel with a lot of things to see. The park combines nature and historical architecture to give you a good time when visiting. The well maintained paths make walking in the park very easy and just enjoyable with a lot of things to see while walking around it… the views you get just makes it even more worth it to visit. A must visit place when visiting Kassel!

Stunning garden with incredible water features, aqueduct, ruins, lovely bridges and more. It's 1,5km hike up the hill but well worth it. There is no entry fee to the garden but there is a palace that functions as a museum and a small castle that you have pay an entry fee. There is a Cafe near the museum and on top of the hill. The one on top was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays when we visited.

Danke an unsere Vorfahren, dass sie Zeit, Geld und Mitarbeiter hatten, um so einen gigantischen, wildromantischen Bergpark anzulegen. An jeder Ecke kann man Tiere und viele fremde Pflanzen und Bäume entdecken. Es gibt auch einen Weg, der mit Rosenbüschen geziert ist. Und die Wasserspiele sind wirklich sehenswert, immer Sonntags und mittwochs um 15.30 Uhr.

War sehr imposant ein tolles Erlebnis da es voll war rate ich auf jeden Fall eine Führung mitzumachen. Da die dann andere Wege kennen und wenn es möglich ist Mittwoch gehen da es sicher Sonntags noch voller ist. Es war aber trotzdem ein schöner Tag.

Its one of the best park to visit in Lower Saxony. It offers a variety of attractions from lakes , bridges, castle and much more. It is suitable for morning walks and hiking with family or friends. Either way you can enjoy the beauty of this nature which this park has to offer.

Ein wunderschöner, weitläufiger Bergpark mit vielen kleinen Überraschungen. Da ne Burg, da ein Wasserfall. Ein Höhepunkt ist der Herkules, eine Statue auf dem Gipfel des Berges. Vorsicht, gute Kondition ist vom Vorteil für all die Treppenstufen. Dafür gibt es super Panorama von Kassel. Sehenswert. EIN MUSS 👍

Eindrucksvoller Park, allerdings ohne die Wasserspiele. Diese beginnen erst im Mai. Bin mit dem PKW zur Haltestelle Drusental, dann mit der Linie 22 hoch zum Herkules, den Park herunter und wieder ab dem Schloss mit der Tramlinie 1 zum PKW. Super!

Super schöner Ausblick auf Kassel und Umgebung. Auf den Parkplatz kann man 30 Minuten kostenlos parken für einen kurzen Besuch. Einzige was aktuell stört sind die Kräne und das Baugerüst. Ansonsten für einen Ausflug mehr als zu Empfehlen. Wenn das Wasser an ist, leider war ich zur falschen Zeit da, soll laut Freunden auch wunderschön sein.

Ein sehr schöner Ort. Man kann sich dort sehr lange aufhalten und es gibt viel zu sehen. Es fehlt nur eine Beleuchtung der Stufen wenn die Wasserspiele dort sind. Die Scheinwerfer von unten blenden so sehr, dass man beim runter gehen die Stufen nicht mehr sieht und auf eine Taschenlampe oder das Licht vom Handy angewiesen ist.

What a lovely place to visit. Nice walks in greenery. Fresh air, sound of flowing water, birds. You can easily spend your whole day here. 6€ ticket is worth it. You can visit the top of Hercules statue, museum, Löwenberg all in the same ticket. The view from top was awesome.

This park is filled with natural beauty and historical structures. There’s mountain, forest and 3 amazing castles. You can take a bus from main train station to the top of mountain where herkules is. And you can see all the beautiful landscapes while climbing down.

Beautiful park, in Autumn, Winter, Spring or Summer, it’s always beautiful. Especially if it is sunny. The scenery over Kassel is beautiful and the walk from the bottom is well rewarded. There’s Cafeteria at Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, at the bottom of the cascades and at the top. For those who can’t walk that far, there’s also public transportation (Tram-Bus combination) which takes you to “Herkules” and back from the city.

Der absolute Knaller. Ein super Erhohlungsraum zum abschalten oder sportlich tätigen. Museum mit Café und sehr zugewandtes Personal und lecker Speisen und Getränke. Das Pavillon am Teich und den vielen kleinen Seen mit schönen Wanderwege sind sehr einladend. Für Alle Altersgruppen ein absolutes Erlebnis.

Great location, fabulous grounds and views. Restaurant in the castle was excellent, both the food and staff 👍

Must place to visit, the panoromic view is magnificient and you will enjoy it. Please walk ans climb all the stairs to enjoy the view.

Really loved this place, all spots are covered in one place. For people who don't know there is a tramp and a bus that takes you all the way up, then u can take your take your time and come downhill covering all the spots.

Amazing place for day trip. Tip: Start from Herkules monument and the go down. The place has proper parking and WC facility.

Sehr sehenswert. Vorallem wenn Lichtershow ist. Man braucht gute Kondition wenn man hoch und wieder herunter will. Es sind aufwärts 539 Stufen, dabei darf man die Steigung ohne die Stufen nicht vergessen 😉

This is a park and the highlight is the Hercules monument. You can go up all the way to the monument and come down by walk or use the shuttle. The water flow from the Hercules monument through the steps and falls like a water fall in this park. That is a real spectacle to watch. Please check the timing of this water flow.

A must-visit historical place in Kassel. You will get an amazing view of the city. Nice place to hang out.

An absolute wholesome experience. You can book a two days trip here book a nice little air bnb (I stayed at helga's- the couple is super sweet and helpful) visit the wilhelmshöhe and reserve a nice brunch/frühstück at some Cafe. It's worth the visit. Breathtaking view and a must visit place.

Running. Definitely a great location for your run, especially if you are into hill training. Lots of places to see along the way in case I need to catch your breath. Paved and unpaved roads, plenty of shade in the summer and during winter, the trees protect you from the wind.

Der Bergpark hat uns positiv überrascht. Die Landschaftsarchitektur, das satte Grün der jahrhundertealten Bäume und die gastronomischen Angebote haben überzeugt. Einziger Wermutstropfen waren die Baustellen am Herkulesdenkmal, die alle Fotos etwas verschandelten. Hinweis: Man sollte gut zu Fuß sein, da der Park riesig ist und eine mittlere Steigung aufweist. Busse oder Parkplätze sind etwas abgelegenen. Wer die Wasserspiele sehen möchte muss an einem Mittwoch, Sonntag oder Feiertag kommen. Doch auch ohne Selbige ist der Bergpark einen Besuch wert.

A great park and quite naturally a must-see when visiting Kassel. Of course, summer is the best time for a visit as the water features will be active, but even in winter (when I visited), it's a five star experience if you visit the five stations of the water features and the other highlights. Despite it's erratic layout, the park is easy to navigate thanks to many maps scattered throughout. One point of consideration is that after snowfall has melted and frozen again (which was the case during my visit), various walkways and staircases can become very slippery, to the point of becoming dangerous to walk upon.

Impressive park in a hill overlooking Kassel, also features several fountains and statues. Recommended!

This park is amazingly large and beautiful, the waterfall is really nicely used all along the way down from Hercules statue.

Very nice park, no water in the waterfalls right now. Good for viewing the city of Kassel from top.

A very beautiful place to visit! We hiked going to the hercules. The place is cool and very relaxing. Magnificent view. We went on a saturday and didn't know that there's schedule for water play and bus. But still worth the walks. If I could, I would definitely go here every week but we live far from it.

Wonderful nature park situated on the western outskirts of Kassel. The park is huge and there is quite some uphil walk. The watershow, starting from the Hercules statue down to the garden in front of the palace, was quite mesmerizing. IMPORTANT NOTE: People with children and kinderwagen should take the shuttle bus or bus 23 from the besuchzentrum near the tram stop to go to the top and climb down on foot. No doubt it is exciting and colorful hiking, but with prams and small children, it is very difficult to climb stairs.

In the dense dawn, one runs into a wall of fog, and thus begins the metamorphosis on a blank, white paper. Alone on the running journey, the faithful companion, the heron, is suddenly discovered, and the mountain park unfolds into an endless symphony of solitude. Amidst rows of trees forming a Japanese calligraphy, no hiker is encountered; one is closest to oneself. The cold air cuts while breathing, blowing thought bubbles into the atmosphere. A feeling of happiness permeates as you ascend higher, past old companions, massive trees from distant worlds, summoning colonial thoughts that seamlessly fit into the visual axis. Here, I claim this park as my inner refuge, a territorial sense of home, viewed from the outside. The path leads higher, ever higher, past the Devil's Bridge, which changes its aura daily in capricious moods. In this ascent, in this transformation, a metaphor for the pursuit of higher values is revealed. Every path is familiar until finally reaching the summit, the Hercules. Here, encountering early morning tourists whose smoke seems to taint the pure spirit - here, no poison is needed. A swift return, circling the Löwenburg like a perfect drawing in a Disney landscape. Even Michael Jackson would have liked to erect fences here, but it remains a public place, a park that I miss painfully wherever I am in the world. Here, one feels alive, the heart beats faster, faster.

It's one of the best places I have visited recently. The view is amazing and magnificent.

Awesome park even on rainy day. Loved the autumn vibes of late October.

Very unique and beautiful view. Unfortunately we did not catch waterfalls, sines we visited in July. We were told by the information pointer that to see waterfalls it is better to come whe snow is melting. In the bottom of stairs you can get refreshment in the cafe. The stairs are colossal, people only of good shape (health) should attempt climbing up during a hot day (we did not :p) there is a bus that can take you to the start of the route and then you can take line 23 and return to the Hercules (Hercules parking).

Absolutely an amazing place to visit.

Crazy fantastic for everyone. You have to see. You need 4 hours minimum. Very good place for family walk, also for running and bike ride. Incredible huge oaks and others 🌳.

Wowww...very nice olace

Awesome park you must visit.

One of the prettiest and splendid parks I've ever been to. Cannot express how amazed I was the whole way up to the Hercules's monument. Anyone bear to Kassel should definitely check out Bergpark and the monument itself. Don't be lazy and don't go by the bus.

Under construction right now so save your visit for awhile, absolutely nothing to see inside right now, all blocked off. Plenty of places to walk around the castle with lovely benches everywhere.

A place for a good walk and to spend with family for 3-4 hours. Lot of points for clicking good snaps.

Beautiful place, great hiking trails in the vicinity but you can also just stroll in the main park.

A very nice Bergpark to visit in Kassel for all seasons,just make sure you wears comfortable outfit! A lot of steps to climb up but the view worth it!

What a view, just amazing. Be prepared to climb couple of steps to the top….

Very nice park. We parked at the bottom so was a hard walk. Would recommend bringing proper shoes and good time if walking all the way to the top

Perfect for long walks. Fresh air, beautiful lakes, rivers and waterfalls. ❤️

Ist wirklich hübsch und man kann sich wirklich viel ansehen. Die Parkplätze kosten 7 Euro bei den Wasserspielen. Dabei ist aber auch der Bus wieder den Berg hoch zum Parkplatz. Viele Mitarbeiter, die aufpassen. Die Größe des Parks hat uns sehr beeindruckt. Ist im allgemeinen auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

What a beautiful park! You can find lots of tracks to follow at your own pace, beautiful buildings such as “old fashioned” castle and the Hercules statue. 520 more stairs to reach the top, if you can make it it will be memorable!

This is a very large park, basically a half to full day event with a wonderful castle, this amazing waterfall and Hercules construction, and more. Not a huge amount of parking so when the water falls are operating it may get very busy. All free, except the parking :)

Absolutely stunning park! It's like taking a walk back in time. The buildings and nature is truly beautiful. And the view after the climb to the top is totally worth the effort! Highly recommend when in the area

Stunning and marvelous world heritage complex full of impressive features including the water cascade! It is located approx. half an hour walking distance from the train station, although trams can bring visitors close enough, buses even closer, but the most convenient means of transport would still be a car. There are a lot of parking places at different locations around the park. Nevertheless be prepared to walk a lot as the park is huge! During my time here I did more than 10 kilometers of walking, unfortunately a lot of stairs and hills included. The vertical difference between the Octagon and the Wilhelmshöhe castle is more than 230 meters. After spending more than 5 hours in the park I was frankly very tired. There is no entrance fee to most of its attractions, however tickets must be purchased for Octagon with the Hercules statue, Löwenburg and Wilhelmshöhe castles. The water cascade is free of charge and runs only at 3:30 PM every Wednesday, Sunday and some public holidays - the information is located everywhere around the park to be sure it's known to visitors! Social amenities are available only within restaurants or visitors centers, they are free of charge. Information about gardens and its history is present in German and English on the storyboards throughout the gardens. More information and paper brochures can be picked up at the visitors center, but unfortunately there is no free of charge map of the gardens. As many may forget, this is an actual UNESCO site and not a "forest park" therefore there is a whole paper brochure dedicated to what is allowed and forbidden to do in this park (includes no drones). I managed to visit all major sites - The Octagon with a possibility to climb the pyramid shape tower and view the gardens from above, Neptune's fountain - great place to watch the water spectacle from, romantic ruins of Löwenburg castle and finally I did enjoy the stroll alongside The Grand Water Cascade when the water was running. Overall I did enjoy my time here, however there were a couple of things I did not like/appreciated and I feel could be upgraded. The place is not that well maintained, at least not as good as I would expect for a world heritage site. Cigarette butts, bottles, broken glass and other plastic trash (also seen in the fountains) were omnipresent, taking my joy away. The water show is available only once per day on Wednesdays, Sundays and some public holidays, resulting in overcrowding. It was absolute carnage at every stop alongside the cascade where hundreds and hundreds of people were trying to find the best spot to watch. Parks staff had to be present to prevent visitors climbing to forbidden places and regulate the traffic flow. When the water cascade was not running the rivers and streams had almost no water, therefore I was watching dry riverbeds full of weed, grass and stones. (I understand water is scarce, therefore it cannot run all the time). Purchasing a 6 EUR combined ticket (very cheap) allowing visits of 3 sites - Löwenburg, Wilhelmshöhe and Octagon with Hercules statue is a bit of a sham. If you want to visit Löwenburg castle you need to book a guided tour online and in advance, otherwise there is a huge chance there won't be any available slot, like for me. Unfortunately the staff at the information center was not helpful at all. For more information visit each site. Visited in August 2022.

Very beautiful water features in a park with a castle and a palace. A must see even though it is a little crowded but this is to be expected because they only turn the water features on twice a week. Plan your visit around their schedule because you don't want to miss this.

I was there last week and found lots of happiness and peace. A very nice place and side viewing is super. Found a couple is kissing on top that place and it makes me super excited.

Great place to enjoy nature and hike. The view from the top is splendid which made the trail so worth it (there's a bus though that can take you all the way to the top, or can take the car to avoid walking).

Lots of ups and downs. There are several signs telling stories of the historical events of the park, but all of them are worn out to the point where you can't read anything - a real shame such a historical significant place! No public parking places - you have to park at a nearby hotel.

A beautiful and romantic place for a trip in Germany City Kassel is very nice .

What a beautiful park! The buildings and the nature is fantastic. You can follow the trail and the view after the climb over is gorgeous specially with fall colours.I loved it!

Take the bus to the top and then walk down, otherwise it is going to be a very tough day xD Still a beautiful location though

It was impressive, loved to be there looking around and seeing Hercules statue. It's the perfect place for going on a little hike or maybe throw a picnic in warmer months.
