Kassel sits among uplands, and the count says so: 244 peaks within 25 km, the Hoher Dörnberg at 11.4 km and the Hohes Gras at 10.1 km among them. Schloss Wilhelmshöhe is 5.8 km from the center with the Löwenburg at 6.4 km; Schloss Wilhelmsthal (1761) is at 10.3 km, and the Felsburg, dated to around 1060, stands at 20.9 km. Ruins are thick too, the Burgruine Schartenberg, Burg Sichelnstein and Burg Grebenstein among 30.
The megaliths are the surprise: eight of them, including the Galeriegrab Calden 1 and 2 at 11.5 and 12.2 km and the Lautariusgrab. Eight lookout towers round it off, the Wartturm at 10.1 km among them. RLQuest checks you made it up.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Kassel.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
