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."
