#4月好去地方2025 The palace in Cashel is famous for its Baroque style, with gorgeous interior decorations and beautifully designed gardens. I visited the art collections in the palace and experienced the luxurious life of ancient German aristocrats. Take a stroll through the gardens and admire the symmetrical landscaping and fountains. This palace is a fascinating representative of German classical art. Kassel is located at the center of the Fairy Tale Route. The Grimm brothers, the authors of Grimm's Fairy Tales, lived here most of their lives, except for studying in Marburg and teaching in Göttingen. Many of their works were also completed here, so it is known as the "Fairy Tale Capital".

The city of Kassel was destroyed during World War II, so most of the buildings were rebuilt. Despite this, the buildings that have been rebuilt are very beautiful. First stop was a museum in the city center and a nearby palace-like garden. Then hike to the mountainous area of ​​the city, where there is an old castle (currently rebuilt) on the top of the mountain. Although the castle is still under reconstruction, it is still very beautiful. The natural scenery nearby is very beautiful. It just so happens that there is an annual light festival today. The whole mountain is lit up at night as well as the castle, and there are lots of light installations by different artists. #100WaysToTravel #Germany #Kassel
