The stop par excellence for every tourist. Wonderful view of the cathedral. The tower, which can be driven under by cars, is also worth admiring.

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!

April 3, 2023,15/23 wie sieht es am Radweg bei Diez aus 🤔

Finally sun and blue sky again today, what could be more obvious than to go on a tour again. Where should the journey go?
After the heavy rain of the last few days,
take a look at the level of the Lahn on the bike path!
Via Mensfelden, of course with a detour to the Mensfelderkopf, to the Aar to …

On the way we had to count the …

Beautiful cycle route around Limburg, most of it on cycle paths. A rest stop at the Lindenmühle is not to be missed.

At the invitation of a former schoolmate from Dauborn, drove the first tour in 2022.
Comfortable round trip via Dauborn, Nauheim, Mensfelden, Flacht, Diez, Limburg and back via the R8. The weather was cool, but now and then the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. The journey should mainly be on fixed paths, but unfortunately it was not always …

A short tour before my afternoon appointment.
Since no route was planned, just started driving again.

Komoot : 54.2 km and 460 vertical meters
Bosch : 56.4 km and 730 vertical meters
Fitness watch: 54.3 km and 624 vertical meters
In terms of distance, …
