    Hiking

    The Limburg railway pioneer Moritz Hilf (*1819, †1894) is memorialized on the Limburg station forecourt.

    "... From 1860 he was also responsible for the planning and construction of the Lahn Valley Railway, which he undertook from Limburg. In particular, he straightened the route following the winding course of the Lahn, which his predecessors had proposed, in order to make the railway more economical to run and accepted a higher number of engineering structures in return. He designed some of the necessary nine lattice bridges over the river himself. ..."

    Moritz Hilf is a Limburg old town boy and is one of the most well-known personalities in Limburg. He went down in history as the builder of the Lahntalbahn and was a great promoter of the city's development.
    This monument in his honor, which you probably mostly cycle past without noticing it.
