    Hiking

    The most impressive of the water features in the Palaisgarten is undoubtedly the Great Cascade, whose roar can be heard from a distance when it is in operation (only during the day from April to October). The artificial grotto architecture is enhanced by historical back planting with dark spruce trees. The grotto was renovated in 2009. Opposite on the path we see a tree room made of maple trees that were planted in a circle.

    The palace garden is really worth a visit in summer.

    Hiking

    Today's Great Cascade was created as a grotto during the second construction phase of the Palaisgarten and complements the various water features on the site. A small cascade can be found directly next to the basin of the fountain pond on the lowest level of the Palaisgarten, the eastern end of which is marked by the Great Cascade. The water features of both cascades and the fountain pond are activated at intervals and, like the other objects in the Palaisgarten, are illuminated at dusk.
