Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, Landscape park in Kassel, Germany.
The park stretches across 240 hectares of hillside terrain, incorporating water features, gardens, walking paths, and architectural elements into a harmonious landscape.
Construction began in 1689 under the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel, featuring the Hercules monument atop Karlsberg mountain and an elaborate water cascade system.
The Wilhelmshöhe Palace houses an art gallery with Germany's second-largest collection of Rembrandt paintings, along with Greek and Roman antiquities.
Water displays operate from May through October on Wednesdays, Sundays, and holidays, allowing visitors to follow the water's journey through the park.
The engineering system creates Europe's tallest water fountain at 50 meters high through natural water pressure without mechanical pumps.
