Heading back through Buedinge turn left on Am Wildenstein and follow that road up the hill, turn left when it comes to a T at the hospital. You’ll run into an ancient ritual site called the wild stone. I love sitting on that stone at night with my spring water looking down on the castle in Buedingen all lit up. Nach dem Wasser holen in Buedingen links bei Am Wildenstein abbiegen. Die Strasse bis zum Ende fahren, bei dem Krankenhaus, wenn es nicht mehr geradeaus geht, links fahren. Dort ist eine alte Kultstaette, der Wilde Stein. Da sitze ich gerne mit meinem Glas Quellwasser und gucke mir die Stadt bei Nacht an, besonders das beleuchtete Schloss.
