This waymark refers to the many fountains you can see when you visit the "Groß Garten - Herrenhausen", Hannover. We decided to put all of them together in one waymark because you need to pay a fee (€ 3,-) to visit the garden. Coordinates refer to the entrance of the garden... the fountains are visible from any point... they are spread all over the garden! Anywhere you go, you discover a new fountain!
Special mention to "Die Grotte", the small building inside the garden, right by the entrance, where you can see 2 fountains by Niki de Saint Phalle (1930 - 2002), a French sculptor, painter, and film maker, and to fountain 08, whose water can come up to 82 meters high!
We hope you enjoy visiting the gallery (some fountains look just the same, so we placed photos of the different "types" of fountains and not of all of them)... and, if you are around, the garden itself, which is lovely for a walk in spring and summer, when the flowers are blooming and the fountains have running water.
To visit the garden, you can park at N 52° 23.441 E 009° 42.178, and buy tickets by the entrance or at the information house at N 52° 23.421 E 009° 42.091 (all beside "Groß Garten").
You can get further info about the garden at the official website (in German) or at (
