Lahn Bridge (Marble Bridge), Villmar

Highlight • Bridge

A little note about the Villmar "marble bridge" 😎

February 13, 2022,Runkel - Villmar und retour (Steilhänge mit Variation)

This tour is largely identical to the signposted tour "In the steep slopes of the Lahn". However, this time we made the two worthwhile detours to the two main squares of Runkel and Villmar. Otherwise simply follow the markings of the two Lahnhöhenweg (L). Great views are guaranteed in good weather! However, some of the paths are very muddy, especially …

May 20, 2024,Wanderung "In den Steilhängen der Lahn zwischen Villmar und Runkel"

A wonderful hike from Villmar, the romantic spot in the Lahn valley, to Runkel and back. Do not choose the King Konrad Hall as your starting point, but the old schoolyard. From there, over the Kissel, the Villmar "Love Alley" to the year group cross. Here, enjoy the beautiful view of Villmar and the Lahn valley. Continue the hike to …

October 24, 2022,Hessen: Lahn-Rundwanderung bei Runkel

Circular hike along the Lahn with Runkel as the starting point. The sun couldn't break through against the heavy clouds, which gave the whole thing a dramatic mood that only autumn can bring.

September 24, 2024,Villmar - Runkel - Lahnwanderung 🚶🏽‍♂️🏰

Today I was able to take over my own castle for a fee of 5 thalers (€). The view from the tower is phenomenal. The safest room is of course the torture chamber, as it can be locked 😜 the paths on both sides of the Lahn are also excellently signposted. 👍🏼

July 23, 2026,Wanderung von Villmar nach Runkel/Lahn mit Besuch des Lahn-Marmor-Museums

Actually, I had planned this hike as a "girls' trip" with Kerstin and Martina. So far, we haven't managed to walk here. But yesterday I was out with Hans. He took the photos that can be found on his profile. It was a great tour in the best weather. Well planned, a museum visit also fits into the program at …

October 30, 2022,Lahnwanderung von Villmar nach Runkel 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

Inspired by a tour of @Arek, we made an appointment to go hiking with Thomas & Andrea in Villmar. Since I only got off work on Sunday morning, we couldn't start in Villmar until midday.
On the way we got a big frown - started at home in bright sunshine, we drove from the customs house through thick fog. Fortunately, …

Nice way back to Villmar along the Lahn, through the Ansbachtal and via the Lahnhöhenweg. Absolutely worth seeing 👀 in the Lahn marble stronghold of …
