Kaiser Wilhelms Bad - Bad Homburg vor der Höhe

Bad Homburg is one of the larger towns close to the villages and small towns where I grew up. Here I went to school for the last three years before going to University. The town is an old spa town, in which even the emperor Wilhelm the first used to go. It was known in many countries over the world, even the Siames emperor has been here for treatment. The downtown consists of a shopping street with sidestreets and the huge Kurpark, the parc for recreation. Another park close to the castle and the old town invites for a calm rest. There is also a casino in the parc, said to be the casino which inspired the famous casino in Monte Carlo.
In my travelogues I concentrate on the Kurpark, which I visited this monday morning.
