Willkommen zu den
Waldecker Turniertagen zu Miesbach
vom 7.-9. August im Jahre des Herren 2026
Neben den beiden trotz wechselhaftem Wetter sehr erfolgreichen Turniertagen 2023 und 2024, und dem sehr warmen Turniertagen 2025, laden wir auch 2026 wieder zu den Waldecker Turniertagen ins Herz von Miesbach an den Waitzinger Park/Habererplatz.
Wir tauchen wieder ein ins gar nicht so finstere Mittelalter, in eine Zeit, in der im Oberland die Herren von Waldeck herrschten und der Bevölkerung Schutz gewährten.
Wir laden alle Leute von nah und fern zum Vollkontakt Buhurt Turnier nach Miesbach mit Markt, Feldlagern, Falknern, Musici, Gauklern und vielem mehr. Unsere Freunde vom Sword Gym München organisieren ein weiteres Mal den Pokal zu Miesbach , ein schon bewärtes Internationales Buhurt Turney. bei dem sich voll gerüstete Ritter um Gold, Silber und Bronze schlagen.

Welcome to the
Waldecker Tournament Days in Miesbach
August 7–9 in the year of our Lord 2026
Following the two very successful tournament days in 2023 and 2024—despite changeable weather—and the very warm tournament days in 2025, we invite you once again in 2026 to the Waldecker Tournament Days in the heart of Miesbach at Waitzinger Park/Habererplatz.
Once again, we’ll immerse ourselves in the not-so-dark Middle Ages—a time when the Lords of Waldeck ruled the Oberland and provided protection to the people.
We invite everyone from near and far to the full-contact Buhurt tournament in Miesbach, featuring a market, field camps, falconers, musicians, jugglers, and much more. Our friends from Sword Gym Munich are once again organizing the Miesbach Cup, a well-established international Buhurt tournament where fully armored knights battle for gold, silver, and bronze.

From the Edo period to the Meiji era, a group of merchant ships known as "Kitamae-bune" played a vital role. Kitamae-bune is not a name that refers to a specific type of ship with a particular shape or size. It is a general term for ships that traveled along the western sea route on the Sea of Japan side, connecting Hokkaido and Osaka, and trading in local specialties in various regions. In other words, it is better described as a style of business. The Kitamae-bune trade, which spanned the entire country, brought immense wealth to merchants and played a major role in the exchange of cultures in different regions.
