  • Destination: Wilhelmshöhe Visitor Center

Starting from Hercules, this path leads down into the valley to the Wilhelmshöhe visitor center.

Elfbuchen and the Prinzenquelle spring make this 7.5-kilometre trail attractive and it gives you an insight into some of the more remote stretches of the Bergpark. This trail begins and ends at the two entrance portals to our spa and mountain park, the Herkules Visitor Center and the Wilhelmshöhe Visitor Center. It is questionable whether the Prinzenquelle got its name from a real prince. What is certain, however, is that a Kneipp arm or foot bath there is well worth the time. The Prinzenweg can be completed in 110 minutes.
