ホルハウゼン（ウェスターヴァルト）のおすすめライド

Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of motorized traffic.

A great cycle path along the Wied river leads past the monastery.

This cycle path is the best life-extending measure for all cyclists in the Wiedtal valley; many locals use the Wiedtal road with their vehicles as a rally track, and cyclists sometimes disrupt the flow!

A beautiful historical ensemble. You can still easily imagine life in prehistoric times here.

"On Palm Sunday, March 25, 1945, the town was bombed and half destroyed during the Allied advance. The town suffered 71 casualties at that time. More than 50 houses were completely destroyed, and many of the remaining houses suffered significant damage. One day later, on March 26, 1945, Dierdorf was occupied by US Army troops after brief skirmishes with the retreating remnants of the Wehrmacht. According to American sources, 67 Martin B-26 "Marauder" bombers flew the air raid on Dierdorf. They dropped a total of 272 bombs over the target area in eight waves. Each bomb weighed 450 kg." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dierdorf

<< Owl Tower >> "Remains of the listed city fortifications, built after 1357, are still preserved on the Holzbach dam. The "Untertorturm," later renamed the "Owl Tower," is an approximately 27-meter-high round tower, a typical medieval defense tower. It also served as a dungeon. Today, a fire brigade museum is located there. With remnants of the city wall, it testifies to the medieval importance of the settlement, which was granted city rights by Charles IV in 1357." https://www.tourenplaner-rheinland-pfalz.de/de/punkt/historische-staette/eulenturm/56629324/
