In this park the waterworks with a great fountain are shown two times a week. In general, Kassel has got many big parks and is a very "green" city. Kassel has got about 200 000 habitants, so it is not too big. The town has a good traffic system with buses, tramways and two big train stations which you can use every day and in the direction of every city you want to go to, so it is not a problem to visit other metropolis like Frankfurt, Hanover or Hamburg.
