More than 2,500 years ago, the Celts settled in this area. They probably didn’t arrive because they were cycling enthusiasts, but rather because of the iron ore. You can still find some – more modern – ore and clay mines today. The Westerwald has a rich history. As you ride, you will discover traces of times gone by from the Romans and the Franks as you cycle through little villages that look almost as they would have during the Middle Ages.
In this Collection, you will find a selection of twelve bike Tours spread throughout the Westerwald. The routes vary in difficulty, but all of them include some uphill stretches. Your efforts will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramas and fast descents. The bike paths through the Westerwald are suitable for both budding athletes, MTB riders, and families as many paths lead through gentle river valleys or along former railways with almost no inclines. In addition, you can rent an e-bike in many places if you want to save yourself a few beads of sweat. No matter how you choose to ride, you will find many fantastic bike Tours in the Westerwald.
