タウヌスシュタインでののおすすめツーリングルート

The Aartal Cycle Path begins at its source in Idstein-Orlen, right on the Limes – so history is part of it from the very beginning! You start at the source, where the Aar is still a lively brook, and follow it for almost 70 kilometers to its mouth in Diez on the Lahn. The charm is unbeatable: At first you go through the Taunus mountains, where you gain a few meters in altitude, but as soon as you reach the old railway line, the mode changes to pure leisurely cycling. Then you roll almost flatly alongside the Aar and the disused Aartal Railway. It's like a journey through time: you rush through small train stations (now rest areas!), enjoy the peace and quiet, and forget the traffic. This path is ideal for switching off and clocking up the kilometers until you finally greet Ardeck Castle and roll to the finish in Diez. Pure nature and nostalgia flow!

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.

The Aar Valley Cycle Path is an idyllic cycle path in Hesse, stretching from the source near Orlen to the mouth of the Aar River in Diez. It is considered particularly family-friendly and offers a relaxing ride through green landscapes, far from traffic.

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).

Two ice cream parlors along the way. Great views of the Taunusstein hills.

The Aartal is a beautiful valley that stretches as far as Dietz. You can cycle the whole route along the former Aartalbahn on a well-maintained cycle path. There is a lot to see and discover.

Here the eagle is not yet so big, but great to look at
