About this class
Experience Kassel in a whole new way with this audio tour through Bad Wilhelmshöhe. You'll discover the impressive history of the Hessian landgraves while strolling through the UNESCO-protected mountain park. Thanks to precise audio navigation, you remain flexible and explore everything at your own pace — without fixed times or groups. Exciting anecdotes, hidden places and real secret tips from certified city guides await you. This tour combines nature, history and relaxation and stands out clearly from classic city tours thanks to its personal, authentic presentation.
Ideal for anyone who travels independently and doesn't want to commit themselves to fixed times or groups.
Here is an overview of the highlights of the tour:
- The dive into the depths: Learn everything about the thermal spring, which bubbles from a depth of 629 meters and feeds the Kurhessen thermal baths.
- Imperial glamor: Discover where Kaiser Wilhelm II spent his summer vacation and why Bismarck's personal physician found every breath here worth “a Thaler.”
- The disappeared palm bath: The story of an exotic indoor pool with tuff stone grottoes, which, curiously enough, was heated with waste heat from an electricity plant.
- Mulang Chinese village: A walk through the historic park village, which was built at the end of the 18th century as a romantic “shepherd's village” for the princes.
- Kneipp-to-go: Practical instructions for “Kneipp espresso” (arm bath) and treading water in the cool water of the mountain park.
- The Löwenburg: Visit to the artificial knight's castle, which, despite its “ruinous” appearance, was a magnificently habitable pleasure palace.
- Myth of water arts: An insight into Baroque engineering, in which the water shoots over cascades and the aqueduct up to the 52-meter high fountain — all without pumping, just through natural slopes.
- Dachshund Erdmann: A short stop at what is probably the most unusual monument in the park, dedicated to the emperor's favorite dog.
