Location

In the Bienwald near Büchelberg.

Participants

DLichti (talk) and his siblings

Plans

Take the car to some forestry road, walk from there, explore the nearby Gutenbrunnen, Heilbrunnen and Lourdes grotto.

Expedition

We found the forestry track and a spot to park the car and walked into the forest. From there, it was just over 1 km to the location. It was some 30 m off the track, but fortunately, there was a clearing in the forest so that it was quite easy to reach. We took some pictures and left again.

The nearby Gutenbrunnen (Good Fountain) and Heilbrunnen (Healing Fountain) seemed to be overbuilt natural springs. At the Gutenbrunnen, we found an obelisk, probably a war memorial, judging by the heardly visible inscription. The Lourdes grotto was a simple artificial grotto, just large enough for two figures and some candles There was also a decorated Christmas tree in front of it.

On the way back, we had to cross the Heilbach. I had anticipated a river crossing of some sort where OpenStreetMap showed a gap in the path. But it turned out that the map was indeed right and there was no bridge. Fortunately, we found a spot where some branches and debris in the creek allowed us to cross without getting our feet wet. We reached the car just before it startet raining and drove home.
