Wied Valley

Highlight • River

Nice, quiet route along the Wied, either with a racing bike on the road, as a MTB or gravel cyclist on the embankment or on the Wieswanderweg.

Wied Cycle Path in Rhein-Westerwald Nature Park

Highlight • Cycleway

The Wiedradweg is really beautiful! Not boring, but partly on forest paths, gravel paths, and roads. The Wied always more or less in view, bridges, tunnels, recommended!

Peterslahr Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The 156 meter long Peterslahr tunnel on the former railway line of the Wiedtalbahn, which led from Linz to Altenkirchen, is illuminated and can therefore be accessed without an additional flashlight.

Ehrenstein Castle Ruins and Monastery

Highlight • Castle

If you keep to the right when visiting the castle, you can crawl through a small opening and climb the castle. I find it very interesting that the rear tower has a proper platform at the top.
