Schlosspark Wilhelmshöhe at Kassel

Lesson # 3 when you take the train.  Don't assume the next train coming through on your platform will be your train!  We hopped on the train to return to Marburg late this afternoon, then realised it left 10min earlier than expected and found it was the express to Frankfurt.  However our fears of travelling 2 hours to Frankfurt and then 1 hour back to Marburg were unfounded and we got off safely in Marburg.

Schlosspark Wilhelmshöhe is a world heritage site because of the gigantic copper stature of Hercules erected in the 1680's and the cascades of water (750,000 litres) released twice a week tumbling down a number of baroque water features culminating in a 50m high water fountain, completed in the 18th century.  It also has a fairy tale castle built around 1800.  It was a lovely day wandering around the grounds.
