  • Destination: Wilhelmshöhe Visitor Center

Starting from Hercules, this trail leads down into the valley to the Wilhelmshöhe Visitor Center.

Elfbuchen and the Prinzenquelle (Prince's Spring) make this 7.5-kilometer trail attractive, and it gives you a glimpse of somewhat off-the-beaten-path stretches in the Bergpark. This path begins and ends at the two entrance portals of our spa and mountain park, the Hercules Visitor Center and the Wilhelmshöhe Visitor Center. It is questionable whether the Prince's Spring got its name from a real prince. However, it is certain that a Kneipp arm or foot bath there is worth the time. The Prinzenweg can be completed in 110 minutes.
