With this unique guided tour, we let you take part in a very special spectacle;

Hundreds of visitors watch with excitement as the water moves through historic pipes in the park ensemble and emerges at picturesque stations, including the cascades in front of Hercules and the Devil's Bridge. During our guided tour, you will receive exclusive background information and of course be in time for the finale of the trick fountains, when a fountain over 50 meters high rises into the sky.

Why do you need to be a good walker for the guided tour of the trick fountains?
As the name suggests, the Bergpark is located on a slope. The park can only be accessed on foot. Due to the steep slope, the Bergpark is only partially accessible for people with limited mobility. The route to the water features runs along the watercourse. Stairs without handrails and irregular paths have to be negotiated. For people who are not so good on foot, we recommend the guided tour Insights into the trick fountains on the palace level.

Our guided tours can be tailored to your wishes and needs. We will be happy to discuss the timing with you. Of course, the duration of the tour can also be varied. We charge a surcharge for foreign languages.

Please note that the request for a group tour must be received at least 3 working days before the date of the tour.

Are you still looking for a suitable place for lunch or coffee? We will be happy to give you tips, advise you and reserve seats for your group.

Package feature

Buchbar nur während der Wasserspielsaison (01. Mai bis 03. Oktober, mittwochs, sonn‐und hessischen Feiertagen, Beginn um 14:00 Uhr).

Warum muss man für die Führung zu den Wasserspielen gut zu Fuß sein?
Der Bergpark ist, wie der Name bereits erahnen lässt, am Hang gelegen. Der Park ist ausschließlich fußläufig zu erschließen. Aufgrund der starken Hanglage ist der Bergpark für mobilitätseingeschränkte Personen nur eingeschränkt zugänglich. Die Führung zu den Wasserspielen geht entlang dem Wasserlauf. Hierfür müssen Treppen ohne Handlauf sowie unregelmäßige Wege bewältigt werden. Für Personen die nicht so gut zu Fuß sind, empfehlen wir die Führung Einblicke in die Wasserspiele auf der Schlossebene.
