World Heritage
Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is no ordinary park. Across around 560 hectares, woodland, meadows and water come together with architecture and garden design.
Shaped over centuries, this landscape has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2013. For visitors, it is a place to explore. For our bees, it is home.
The landscape shapes the flavour.
Our bees follow the food that flowers, weather and the season make available. After harvesting, we keep the Bergpark honey separate from the harvests at our other locations.
This preserves its individual character: sometimes lighter, sometimes darker; sometimes delicate and mild, sometimes richer and more intense.

A park where water flows without pumps, centuries of garden design endure and the landscape continues to thrive.
240 haEurope's largest hillside park
The park was laid out on a steep hillside. Its paths link gardens from different periods with the Hercules monument and Wilhelmshöhe Palace.
750,000 lof water per display
Around 750 cubic metres of water flow through the historic water features during each display. That is 750,000 litres.
0 pumpsgravity alone
The water features use the park's natural slope. Gravity and water pressure alone power the cascades, waterfalls and fountain.
since 2013UNESCO World Heritage
The park and its historic water features became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013. Garden design and hydraulic engineering form a single historic ensemble.
300+ yearsof garden design
Baroque gardens sit alongside later landscape designs. A walk through the park reveals traces of these different periods.
2.3 kmof water features
Following the water features downhill from the Hercules monument towards Wilhelmshöhe Palace involves a walk of about 2.3 kilometres.
52 mthe Great Fountain
The Great Fountain in the fountain pond marks the end of the water display. Natural water pressure sends it soaring upwards.
71 mthe Hercules monument
The height refers to the whole monument, not just the statue. A pyramid topped by the figure of Hercules rises above the octagonal building.
1,000 roseson Rose Island
Shrub, wild and climbing roses grow below the palace, near the Lac lake. Volunteers help care for the collection.
200+ yearsthe age of old trees in the park
Some trees have stood here for more than two centuries. They are as much a part of the historic park as its paths and buildings.
