View of the Lahn Tributary

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this point you have a beautiful view of a branch of the Lahn. It looks as if a larger river flows into the Lahn here.

Today we started in Wetzlar at the train station🚂🚃, headed to Gießen, where we took a coffee break☕️🍰, and then headed back to Wetzlar. There we visited the old town 🏘 and the cathedral⛪️. A beautiful, easy-to-ride route🚲👍 along the Lahn/Lahnaue🏞... There were lots of cyclists🚴🚴‍♀️ and hikers🚶‍♀️🚶 out and about, and the weather was pretty good too..🌞👍

Following the Olympic motto today, we chose a modern pentathlon: bike, wine, food, bike again and finally a beer.
It could be that a sixth discipline will be added later 💊, that depends on the general weather situation ... 😎

I guess I wasn't paying attention, and suddenly my tour from Marburg to Wetzlar ended in Giessen. So the tour is now split into "Lahn 1.1: Marburg - Wetzlar" and "Lahn 1.2: Marburg - Wetzlar." Of course, we managed to complete it in one day.

On the second day we drove about 100 km from Biedenkopf via Marburg and Gießen to Wetzlar. There we stayed overnight at the Wetzlarer Hof. The route is particularly beautiful on this stretch. Hardly any paths on busy roads and very varied.

I actually wanted to take part in a Christian event in Giessen, which unfortunately didn't take place. Did a short tour from Giessen to Wetzlar, but it was cold and I didn't have the right clothes with me 😂 God bless my friend 🙏
