Welcome to Kassel

Europe’s largest hill park with the baroque water features, the fairy-tale heritage of the Brothers Grimm and the third highest museum density in Germany: Kassel is a city that delights visitors from all over the world with its cultural diversity and has already been honoured with a UNESCO World Heritage title twice.

There are also numerous attractive leisure options, making Germany’s second greenest city into a fantastic travel destination all year round – whether for a weekend trip or a longer holiday. And Kassel is also the right place for anyone who fancies an extensive shopping expedition or culinary delights with a regional flair.

The campsite is the perfect starting point for discovering the documenta city. From here, you can quickly reach the large Karlsaue Park with the Orangery, and it is not far to the city of Kassel with its numerous tourist attractions, shopping opportunities and museums such as GRIMM WORLD. The numerous documenta outdoor artworks such as the “Pickaxe” and the “Man Walking to the Sky”, which have left their mark everywhere in the cityscape, are unique to Kassel. And thanks to the well-developed public transport, you can even reach more remote destinations such as Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe comfortably without a car or caravan.
