One of the things we loved about our trip to Germany so much was the fact that we went to lesser-known towns and cities without any real agenda. We showed up at the train station and, in the case of Kassel, found a place to stay via the tourism office, and headed out. There are so many things we loved about Kassel, but the flower island is definitely a favorite in my mind.
Located in Karlsaue Park, Siebenbergen Island is at the southernmost part of the park and accessible by a small bridge. It was only 2 EU to get in, and totally worth it!

What's this? A blocked-off path? We should investigate...
Where the path led us. Magnificent.
Like I said, this was just one of MANY things we adored about Kassel. If you’re ever in the area and looking for something lesser-known to do, make sure you check out the flower island in Karlsaue Park!
