Light trips in the Odenwald: Tractors illuminate Advent!

On Saturday, December 7, 2024, shining tractors transformed the streets of the Odenwald into a spectacular sea of ​​lights. At 6 p.m., an impressive convoy from 62 tractors from Monbrunn to Neunkirchen-Richelbach broke up, where the drivers and spectators admired the festive decoration of the vehicles. The route, which included around 30 kilometers, led through picturesque landscapes and small places, with most drivers from the neighboring federal states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse. These light trips, which have their origin during the Corona period and have established themselves since then, offer a platform for farmers to draw attention to themselves and strengthen the community, according to the report of Meine-News.de .

A day earlier, numerous tractors illuminated the darkness in Rösrath and Overath. Under the motto "A spark of hope - without farmers it is not possible", farmers went on a shining tour through different locations on December 6th. With this campaign, the participants, led by René Doppstadt, would like to draw attention to the challenges of agriculture. The proceeds from the accompanying fundraiser benefit the paraplegic Tanja Platz. The light trip in Overath is expected again on December 7th with up to 140 tractors that will cover a long route through the city and its surroundings, such as ksta.de reported.
