The spa town of Bad Ems lies on the Lahn River. This river forms the border between the northern Westerwald and the southern Taunus mountains. The modern spa industry of the third millennium is still a defining factor in the town, but much more striking in the townscape are the reminiscences of bygone times, when crowned heads from Europe and even Russia were guests here. Bad Ems is also intertwined with Germany's political history, as the famous "Ems Dispatch" originated here.

Many hikers will not know that in the village of Frücht (belonging to the Rhein-Lahn district) a Prussian ministerial official who was important at the time found his final resting place in the family crypt: Heinrich Friedrich Karl Reichsfreiherr vom und zum Stein (1757 to 1831).

Definitely not a "bridge over troubled water," to quote Simon and Garfunkel, but a flower-decorated crossing of the Lahn with a view of the fountain in the middle of the river and, in part, even the sophisticated facades from the spa town's heyday.

tip

Get in a little exercise. Well-maintained equipment is available here.

The path is very flat and almost without elevation gain - here is a slope with a view of the Lahn valley and the spoil heap of the former mine.

A beautiful, exciting adventure far from everyday life. Sturdy shoes and good treads are required!
