Kassel: Birthplace of Brothers Grimm

#hellohalloween
#kassel

Nestled in Hesse, Kassel blends fairy tales, art, and Baroque splendor. Start at Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013—Europe's largest hillside park (240ha). Hike to Hercules Monument for panoramic views; watch gravity-fed water cascades roar Wed-Sun (Apr-Oct).

Dive into Grimm legacy at Grimmwelt: interactive exhibits on Jacob & Wilhelm's 200+ tales, like Cinderella. Their original manuscripts (1812-1815) are UNESCO treasures here.

Art fans: documenta (every 5 years, next 2027) turns city into open-air gallery. Visit Fridericianum, world's first public modern art museum.

Stroll Karlsaue Park (400 acres): canals, Orangerie planetarium, Marmorbad's marble sculptures. Nearby, Löwenburg Castle evokes medieval romance.

Sample Hessian cider in Altstadt's half-timbered alleys; hit market hall for sausages.
Kassel: where myths meet modernity—green, walkable, magical.
