Bridge Over the Mehrbach

Highlight • Bridge

Nice wooden bridge, but quite slippery in slush.

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.

Wied River Trail (Wiedweg)

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful path along the Wied. However, the path is only conditionally recommended for families with small children or prams, as the path is narrow and partly steep with steps.

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.

Alvenslebenstollen

Highlight • Historical Site

The tunnel was a legacy of the Louise mine and can be viewed by appointment. There is also a rest area.

June 25, 2022,Burg Ehrenstein – Kloster Ehrenstein Runde von Oberlahr

Huch just got home and already a little heart. Yes, this time with my hiking group at a medium pace past the beautiful Wied and the rather small Ehrenstein monastery (PLEASE GOOGEL) with a final stop at the Westerwaldtreff in Oberlahr, everything went perfectly!!

Conclusion of today's tour ... 😍👌

I thought it was wonderful. 😊 A route that again had a lot to offer.
Well ... were more ruins than castles, but that didn't affect the matter
Paths partly demanding, inclines↗️, stairs😜, bridges🌁, brooks💦, long forest paths🌲, but also some asphalt pieces along the road. Very varied!

Very nice hike
But there is no place to stop for a break, except at the hotel itself.
Please bring enough food and drink with you
