Lahn cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

I agree with the criticism: the path is not recommended for racing bikes due to the narrow width, frost and root cracks, right-angled route and overcrowding on nice days and at the weekend.

Perfect start or end point of a bike tour through the romantic Lahn Valley! With the support of the Lahntalbahn (bicycles are free of charge), which runs almost parallel to the cycle path from the source to the mouth, longer one-way tours can also be realized here.

Diez Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Diez runs along the slopes of the Lahn Valley on both sides. The Graf Castle Diez towers steeply above the Lahn Valley and is now a youth hostel. The baroque palace Oranienstein is somewhat hidden in the upper town on the Bundeswehr site. The "Nassau Oranien" museum on the Bundeswehr site offers regular tours.

Simply roll comfortably down the Lahn
you can do it, but... big but:
So many castles and villages worth seeing invite you to make a detour again and again! 😃
