Beautiful scenery and a great tip for touring bikes/escape gravel bikes. With a road bike, the mixed surface (roots, bumps), the narrow path and oncoming, inexperienced day-trippers make riding here a little stressful.

Lahn Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Although I am on the "Lahntalradweg" for a long time, the surrounding landscape does not correspond to the classic relief of a valley.
It is extremely extensive, the more appropriate description is Lahn floodplains.
