Itinerary

You should plan enough time to visit the historic old town and the Elisabeth Church (train journey possible, car park at the hotel for a fee, bike hire at the hotel).

Today you cycle through the wide Lahn valley past idyllic bathing ponds to Wetzlar. Explore Wetzlar's old town and the interesting cathedral on a walk in the afternoon.

You leave Wetzlar over the stone bridge and soon reach the Fortuna mine (+ 8 km), the only iron ore mine in Germany, where visitors can see a demonstration of ore mining underground using original machinery. The route to Weilburg, whose Renaissance castle sits on a high rocky ridge above the Lahn, is an unforgettable landscape.

Today, the course of the river winds its way between the Taunus and Westerwald. You cycle along the tarmac towpath via Aumenau and Runkel to Limburg with its world-famous cathedral.

Enjoy a scenic highlight today: off the beaten track through an unspoilt valley landscape from Diez to Balduinstein. There are two climbs on this day, one of which you can comfortably bypass by train (11 km). Afterwards, take a break at Arnstein Monastery, Nassau Castle or the old inn on the banks of the Lahn before cycling into Bad Ems.

After 12 kilometres, the Rhine Valley opens up before your eyes. Here you crown the cycle tour with a detour (+ 29 km) via Boppard and St. Goar to the Loreley. From St. Goar to Koblenz you travel by boat (Tuesday - Sunday), on Mondays you cycle to Koblenz and enjoy a tour of castles and palaces by boat.

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension.
