    Hiking

    April 13, 1759: On this gruesome day, the Battle of Bergen and Vilbel took place on the Berger Wiesen and the Vilbel Forest as part of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). The British fought against the French for the strategically important Free Imperial City of Frankfurt.

    The French had succeeded in taking the city in January and the British, as allies of Prussia, now tried to conquer the city with an allied army. 22,000 Allied soldiers faced the 30,000 French soldiers.
