Hike up more than 200 steps to reach the base of Hercules Monument, a Kassel landmark depicting the ancient Greek demigod Hercules. From this 28.5 m (93.5 ft) high vantage point, you can admire views of the surrounding park and city. You can grab some food at the cafe at the foot of the stairs before walking up. Or, bring a picnic to enjoy in the Wilhelmshöhe Mountain Park. See Hercules Monument and all Kassel has to offer by arranging your trip with our Kassel trip planning app.

Grandiose 18th century monument, perfectly lined up with the city's main road part of a larger assembly. The monument is governing the hilltop and here is the beginning of the spectacular...

Amazing view and great place to walk. I saw people having picnic, enjoying the sun. Make sure you have water with you especially if you go with kids. There are 2 restaurants so you can charge your batteries before you start climbing. Enjoy!

I’ve visited the place with my daughter. The place itself is amazing and looks incredible. We walked down to the museum in the hope to be able to use the toilet and buy a drink. Unfortunately my daughter was denied entry because she didn’t have her school id with her (we didn’t know she needed it for drinks and toilet) Which is unbelievable. Ive Never experienced a Child not being allowed to eat or drink or use a public toilet. She had to go toilet outside in -4*. I’ll never go back to this place.
