レッケンロートのおすすめツーリングルート

城（10年以上改修中）は、あらゆる方向から新品のように見えます。

Amazing panoramic view. It's worth stopping and enjoying it.

Here on the Aartal cycle path, there are still some relics of the old Aartal railway line to admire.

My tip: plan your arrival for late afternoon, because in good weather, the distant views are simply unbeatable. At 313 meters, the Meko is a quartzite peak that rises abruptly from the Limburg Basin – this is the reason for the epic view. From the top, you can see the Westerwald with its green peaks and – drum roll – Limburg Cathedral in the distance in all its glory. The Meko has been a nature reserve since 1998, and you can feel it: It is covered in a rare heathland and lean grassland, kept open by sheep grazing. This sea of purple blossoms, especially in late summer, is a stunning contrast to the vastness. Please note: Please stay on the marked paths to respect this protected flora and fauna! This is a magical place to pause for a moment on one of the benches, breathe in the expanse, and be proud of the altitude you have climbed.

A very pleasant restaurant with good food, a pleasant ambiance, and consistently attentive staff. About Wehen Castle: The castle was built around 1330 by Count Gerlach I of Nassau-Weilburg. It stands on the remains of a medieval castle – a smaller structure (e.g., a tower castle) may have existed there previously. Over the centuries, the castle has served various functions: as a court and administration building, a widow's residence, and a hunting lodge. It was also sometimes used for refugees or as living space. Today, it is a listed building. Museum: The Wehen Castle Museum has been located in the castle since 1995. The collection focuses on the regional and everyday history of Taunusstein/Wehen, such as life after the Second World War, local businesses and everyday life, as well as temporary exhibitions, such as art. In 2023, there was an expansion: three additional rooms on the ground floor were added to the exhibition "Taunusstein History(s) Retold," including exhibits on regional history. Wedding Room: Wehen Castle offers one of the wedding rooms of the Taunusstein Registry Office.

Great scenery and relaxing driving

The Historic Iron Road is a fascinating relic from the days of early ironwork and a popular highlight for cyclists in the Taunus Mountains. It impressively combines history, nature, and athletic challenge.

Very helpful if you have a minor defect. But be aware that the tools at many of these stations are broken. It's fine for smaller jobs (no tools for tightening spokes).
