"With its water gardens and its statue of Hercules, Bergpark
Wilhelmshöhe (hillside park Wilhelmshöhe) in the west of the Hessian
city of Kassel is an outstanding masterpiece of the self-dramatization
of absolutist rulers. Its exceptional topographical setting on the slope
of a hill in Habichtswald forest made it possible for generations of
rulers and master builders to stage the seemingly impossible: water
flowing down the hill in several different artistic forms without
previously having been channeled up the slope using technical devices
such as aqueducts or water raising machinery." -http://whc.unesco.org
