View of Ardeck Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle in the Aartal, directly above the Aarradweg in Holzheim, is a castle ruin, but still beautiful to look at. You can enter the courtyard at any time and enjoy the view of the Aartal.

Old Lahn Bridge, Diez

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice bridge with a great view of the castle.
!! Attention when driving over !! The white lines mark an edge that is easily overlooked in backlight or dusk. As a cyclist, you can quickly stumble here (own experience).

A beautiful town on the Lahn River with a fantastic old town! From here, you get your first glimpse of the cathedral – quite impressive!

Limburg an der Lahn: Old Town and Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

The Limburg skyline is romantic, especially in the evening hours when the cathedral is bathed in yellow light by the low sun. 🤗

View of Limburg Cathedral

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice view from the Lahn to the Limburg Cathedral. Be sure to visit the city center with its many half-timbered houses. The squares in the historic city center with the many cafés invite you to linger. Absolutely worth seeing!

A picture is worth a thousand words! It is also worth looking at the church with its simple and clear structure. Behind the church there is a small green area, …

October 27, 2022,Mensfelden - Aartal - Diez - Dietkirchen - Emsbachtal
A beautiful tour through the foothills of the Taunus in the Limburg Basin. From the Emsbachtal via Niederrupt to Werschau. The ascent to the Mensfelder Kopf begins at the junction to Nauheim. The highest point of the route is there, at the crossroads to the gravel pit. Follow this paved path. One of the most beautiful sections is the descent …

The weather forecast wasn't exactly great, but I still got on my bike this morning and went for a ride. The temperature was much cooler than last week and there was a light drizzle at the beginning, but it didn't last long. Today's tour took us to Meko again, down to the Aar, via Flacht, Diez to Limburg and back …

After 10 months, once again managed a slightly longer tour without any problems.
There are 2 abandoned wheels between Ennerich and Lindenmühle. Ennerich's has been around for a long time. The one near the Lindenmühle wasn't there 2 days ago 😯 😯 😯

Since the weather forecast predicted some sun this morning, I planned another little tour. And the forecast was correct, the sun actually came out at around 9:30. The temperature was also almost pleasant for this time of year. So let's get into our cycling clothes and get on our bikes. Who knows if it will be like that again this …

I rode the section from Mensfelden via Hermannshof to the Aar. I didn't plan it that way, it was a spontaneous decision. I didn't know that I could only ride into the Aar valley. I didn't actually want to go there today. I thought there would be a lot of cyclists there. But there weren't many cyclists. But there were …

Today was only time for a short round with plenty of time for culture in Limburg.
Along the Lahn and then along the Emsbach. After Limburg it got quieter and I was almost alone on the Emsbach. After approx. 25 km, a section begins with a very beautiful view in the middle of "the middle of nowhere". Overall, a very …
