Wasserkunst Kaltehofe

My new Hamburg Lieblings-Location. What a beautiful nature place with history – and modern cultural entertainment.
Hard to choose from 80 photos when you are fascinated by a place. Here is a selection.

Inside the main building there is an interesting exhibition about the complex, water, modern and ancient times in Hamburg

I am in love with this place. These are only 3 bassins.
Imagine going iceskating there in winter… one pond for kids, one pond for beginners, one pond for icehockey matches, one pond…. there are so many of them.
But that is so far not an option. And it is beautiful any time of the year. These pavillions are so cute, although some of them at the further away ponds are pretty kaputt.

Fountain museum and exhibition. Very interesting and very well done presentation, incl. light and sound system, very worth visiting (well, the entire place is).

Lots of wildlife. And many nice events offered throughout the year, inside and outside. Incl. birdwatching walks.

Birds to see when you are following the path!
