February 10, 2024,08/24 🥾 Büdingen - Y-Tour

@Bibbi, this time we've outdone ourselves again, because we've never agreed on a tour so quickly, right? Today it was finally supposed to be the Y-Tour near Büdingen. We parked free of charge near the castle. The Y-path is very well signposted from the start, so you can't miss it. At first it is a bit monotonous and drags on …

A beautiful tour through my old hometown. Büdingen, however, requires a bit more time. Highly recommended.
@markusSupertramp My last tour for the heart project "Stups" children's hospice. I did 97 km. Since I like to round up, I've now done 100 km. That was my goal.
Dear Markus, thank you for the great idea and the encouragement to do something …

From the old town of Büdingen we went today on the Ysenburg route to the Fürstenlager. Always the black Y, the path only runs in the forest, initially always uphill. From the hairpin bend at the burial site of the princely family of Ysenburg and Büdingen, the way back runs slightly downhill to the fishing pond. Then a little uphill …

January 22, 2022,Buedingen-Y-Tour

Today we were in Büdingen again. The Y hiking trail was about 6 km uphill to the Ysenburg princely grave. Then again about 6 km downhill to the Thiergarten pond. Up to here, the path led almost entirely over forest roads and there were no (reasonable) benches or places to rest. That changed at the Thiergarten, where there are plenty …
