The lovely town of Kassel
After posting the blog yesterday, we set out to explore the little-known town of Kessel. We hit the town centre and picked up some much needed supplies and then took a tram to the town park. Once there we spent the next 2-3 hours climbing up the natural gardens and incredible stepped waterfalls to a hercules shrine that lay at the top of the local peak. The sun was out and everytime we reached a higher level the views got grander and we could see more of the town. After climbing the final 552 steps up the waterfall and finally getting to the summit the heavens opened and we got truly soaked!
We decided to seek refuge in possibly the most posh restaurant in Kassel; we were first asked for our reservation, and then our flip flop and drenched t-shirt wearing party was paraded in front of well dressed dinner guests to our tables at the far end of the restaurant (away from other guests). After ordering beers and nearly choking while looking at the food prices, the rain thankfully ended and we could walk back down the mountain, all the while savering the same amazing views we’ed already enjoyed.
Here are a few photos that we took, but they hardly do justice to how amazing it really is.
