Bad Vilbel Spa Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Bad Vilbel is always worth a detour! Especially because of the fountains and the Hassia source museum.

In the middle of the town of Bad Vilbel, directly on the banks of the Nidda River, the ruin of a moated castle holds its own. The stone building dates back to the 11th or 12th century and then replaced a homestead, which dates back to the time of the Carolingians. The castle was the seat of the robber baron Bechtram of Vilbel, who drove it so far with its illegitimate and also overpriced customs claims that formed in 1399 an alliance of the disgruntled rulers of Falkenstein and Hanau and the city of Frankfurt and destroyed the festivals. In the 15th century, the archbishop of Trier Werner von Falkenstein rebuilt the castle on the existing stone ring walls.

Since 1987 the Castle Festival Bad Vilbel has been held at the historic Wasserburg from the beginning of June until the beginning of September.

In addition to four of their own theatrical productions, the open-air stage includes numerous guest performances, theater plays for children and matinees (cabaret and solo programs by well-known artists).

Old Frankfurt-Bonames Airfield

Highlight • Structure

...now also as an MTB highlight ;-)

The Old Airfield, formerly Maurice Rose Airfield, was an airfield used for military purposes until 1992. This was converted into a nature and leisure area from 2002.
Today you can reach the runway via the Auesteg, which is still there along its entire length, but is narrowed on the north side and leads through a swampy grove of trees. The buildings house the Tower Café and the Fire Department Museum.

Alter Flugplatz Bonames

Highlight • Structure

Four and a half hectare nature and leisure area in the landscape protection area of Frankfurt's green belt. The old airfield is a popular excursion destination for families with and without children. Cyclists, joggers, walkers, skaters, inline skaters, but also those seeking peace and nature have their place here.

The Tower Cafe is open all year round. Or visit the fire department museum next door.

October 2, 2021,😁 Herbst .. tolle Farben, Fahrspass pur, Libelle, Graureiher ...

The path led towards the now beautiful autumnal Nidda. Great play of colors ...
Then admired a few churches and some old town. On the way home, a dragonfly sat in front of my lens ... how happy I was about the picture. Back to the tour, it was a lot of fun ... Lots of nice impressions, no trace …
