What you can expect

Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, with a total area of 250 hectares, is unique in the world and merges directly into the Habichtswald Nature Park. Part of the hill's parks is also a designated spa park. Outstanding landmarks and attractions include Hercules, the water art, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, Löwenburg, the greenhouse, and the ballroom.

Enjoy a fascinating guided tour of Europe's largest mountain park, a unique composition of botanical treasures and architectural creations. While Wilhelmshöhe Palace and the park were once reserved only for the princes, today it is a popular place for the city's citizens and visitors to relax and unwind at any time of the year.

With its monumental fountains and the statue of Hercules, visible from afar, the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is a striking example of the landscape architecture of European absolutism. It is a unique Baroque work of art in which different trends in garden architecture, art history and technology history can still be traced in their unadulterated form to this day.
