View of the Hercules Monument

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the distance you can see the eight-meter-tall statue of Hercules perched on a stone pyramid in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park in Kassel. The copper statue of the Greek demigod was erected from 1701 to 1717 according to the designs of the Italian Giovanni Francesco Guerniero.

Fritz-Lottmann Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A narrow bridge that can be walked without any problems. Anyone who still respects will find enough stepping stones to the right and left of the ancestor to get to the other side.

Blue Lake

Highlight • Lake

It's a great hike but requires a lot of attention. You can easily miss a turnoff. It's still possible even when it's very hot, lots of forest.
Necropolis is a great thing, take your time. People have been walking the area for years but have never really noticed it, don't make the same mistake. Have fun!

Unfortunately, komoot was acting up at the beginning and I went "by feel". But it was very varied and I will try it the other way around again. Then also with photos
