Herkules Monument

Build from 1701 to 1717 the "Herkules" is the landmark of Kassel. On top of the famous Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe which is listed in the UNESCO world cultural heritage he keeps a watch over the town and its citizens. Down to his feet the popular trick fountains are elating the masses from May to October. This spectacle is an architectural highlight using gravity devoid of water pumps since decades and utterly worth seeing!
