March 29, 2025,Eine Runde im Kaufunger Wald, mit Bildstein Besuch .😎🙎🚴🚴
Today, my sweetheart and I went for a very nice and relaxing walk in the Kaufunger Forest.
We chose Bildstein Gastette as our destination.
Unfortunately, "our traditional route" was closed today, so we took a small detour and ended up at Bildstein. The weather wasn't the best today, so we didn't meet many people along the way.
Unfortunately, at the …

July 28, 2024,Zum Bilsteinturm
A desire for "Kässpatzen" - like Inspector Kluftinger likes to eat them - and inspiration from @🚲🚵‍♀️MTB_Bikebeast_Reini🚵🏼😎 gave us the idea of eating at the Königsalm (the best Kässpatzen in the area) and then cycling to the Bilstein Tower. The route mostly runs along forest highways (solid gravel path) through the Kaufunger Forest and was nice to cycle. We stopped …

August 11, 2024,Sehr schöne und sonnige Runde von der Alm zum Bilstein💁😎🚴🚴
Today we went on another wonderful tour with my darling.
To escape the heat we drove through the Kaufunger Forest. We chose Bilstein as our destination for our trip. I really wanted to eat a spit roast roll up there. Unfortunately the landlord changed my plans,
he just took a vacation - it's good that we had
"self-catering" after all. …

Despite the great weather, the route was pretty empty, but the Bilstein refuge was very well attended.

May 23, 2023,Bei herbstlichen Temperaturen eine kleine Kaufunger-Wald -Runde
With autumnal temperatures of 14 degrees, I went from home through the Loss meadows to Niederkaufungen. It started to drizzle on the Steinertsee. The higher we drove, the thicker the fog and the rain got heavier to a tour change (Bilstein, Roter See, Schwedenhütte, and katzenborn) were not approached. Despite everything, it was a nice, albeit small, round. With the …
