Former Forester's House on the Foundations of the Summer Palace Blumenstein

Highlight • Historical Site

The former forester's house stands on the foundations of the former Blumenstein summer palace, also known as the valley palace. This landgrave's pleasure and hunting palace and the adjacent large park were built under Landgrave Konstantin from 1770 onwards. It replaced the old Blumenstein hunting lodge, which stood on the mountain. After the Rotenburg landgrave Victor Amadeus, Konstantin's grandson, died childless in 1834, the entire property in the Wildeck valley reverted to the Electors of Hesse-Kassel, who allowed the grounds to fall into disrepair. The summer palace was sold for demolition in the 1870s, only the foundations and the representative curved staircase are still original. The current building was built as a forester's house in 1880 (dissolved in 1967). lagis-hessen.de/de/subjects/rsrec/sn/ol/register/ort/entry/63202004003:wildecker+forst+(talschloss+wildeck)

Wildecker Valley – Valley of the Fairies

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Keep your eyes peeled, because this is where fairies live. In the beautiful valley and the adjacent forest you will find the entrances of fairy dwellings in bizarre roots. Just knock...

The 22 meter high obelisk was probably erected by Landgrave Karl Emanuel around 1790. It is said to have been a token of love for his wife Maria Leopoldine von Liechtenstein.
