View of Rimberg and the Old Shed

Highlight • Viewpoint

Coming from Caldern there is this special view of the Rimberg with the tower. The small and crooked barn makes this view a worthwhile photo opportunity.

Rimbergturm Observation Tower on Rimberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rimbergturm with shelter: The tower, first erected in 1900, was destroyed by a storm in 1971 and rebuilt in 1997 by the Marburg-Biedenkopf district with the support of the neighboring communities and private donations.

This time, too, the route through the Lahn Valley was quite relaxed. First, we headed to the Hohenfels Castle ruins, passing beautiful meadows and through lush green forests. After a detour down into the valley, the second ascent followed, up to the Rimberg. Here, a 24-meter-high observation tower awaited us, offering a magnificent panoramic view. However, it was quite windy …

Today we enjoyed the 5th stage of the Lahnwanderweg very relaxed, very comfortably and slowly.
No marching and no quick "running by".

Beautiful stage of the Lahnwanderweg, without great highlights except for the Rimbergturm. Insane views to the Taunus.
But in the most beautiful nature and easy to walk.

Happy Saturday everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's stage leads from Buchenau up to the Hohenfels castle ruins. Unfortunately, not much more than a few stones in the forest is left of the ruins. On the way to the observation tower on the Rimberg there is a nice rest area with a wonderful view. But we also have a great view from the Rimberg Tower. We can …

The temperatures are rising slowly. So let's take it a little slower. Today there are many distant views and the highlight is the Rimberg Tower with an all-round panoramic view. Very cool.

Made the next stage today with a bit of sun. Train connection perfect.
Be careful as some trail markers are missing, especially when changing direction. Otherwise good ways. A bench halfway invites you to rest. Then on the Rimbergturm with a wonderful view. There is coffee at the end in the mill bakery.

From the Lahn Bridge in Buchenau, the route climbed steadily past the castle hill and the remains of the Hohenfels castle ruins. Again and again views over the colorful hilly landscape opened up.
At today's highest point, the Rimberg at 497m, you could climb the 24m high Rimberg Tower over 105 steps. A great all-round view opened up.
Over narrow …
