Kirschhofen Double Weir

Highlight • River

When the water is low, this rapids are often used for a stopover: for refreshment or just to watch the hustle and bustle on the, here, wide Lahn.

Old Lahn bridge with castle view

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful, old arch bridge over the Lahn, from which you have a great view of the castle and Runkel. Right next door there is an ice cream parlor, where you can eat a delicious ice cream.

August 25, 2024,Lahnradweg 3. Etappe - von Lollar nach Runkel

The tour now leads past Gießen and Wetzlar, sometimes close to the river, sometimes a little further away over a few bridges to Weilburg. From Weilburg the route then goes directly along the Lahn on gravelled riverside paths. Here you can see lots of paddlers in the wonderful weather. The destination of today's stage is Runkel.

Up to Weilburg, the Lahn cycle path was wonderfully beautiful. Then the route was no longer nice, it often went along the road and the Lahn was no longer visible.

May 24, 2022,(Tag 2)von Runkel nach Lollar ☺

According to the forecast, it stopped at 10 a.m. 🌧 and off we went upstream along the Lahnradweg. A mostly quiet bike path that was sometimes very narrow 😁 up to the larger cities and some bike paths on roads but a relaxing path without significant increases on which there were still many things to discover that you couldn't all …

I didn't really find the Lahn Valley Cycle Path beautiful until Löhnberg. But that's probably always in the eye of the beholder.

So we continued on the Lahn cycle path:
Started this morning in Gießen. About half of today's route is not particularly impressive in terms of scenery. Wide river valley, more or less used for agriculture.
Then the valley becomes narrower and more picturesque. Weilburg, Runkel and Limburg are of course highlights that are impressive.
That's how it was

We cycled along the Lahn on the 9th stage of our journey to Gießen. The highlight was Weilburg with its castle and park. There is also a tunnel for canoeists with hand-operated lock gates.
Unfortunately, the rest of the route was sometimes a bit ugly. A lot of it went along busy roads, and for many kilometers there was nothing …

February 1, 2025,An der Lahn von Gießen bis Limburg

A long day of cycling is coming to an end. When I woke up at 7:57 a.m., the sky was particularly beautiful and clear and I felt that I had to tackle the Lahn cycle path. At 8:41 a.m. I was sitting in the regional train in Friedberg, exactly two hours later I got off an overcrowded train in Gießen …

March 24, 2026,Tour von Limburg nach Gießen!

Today I had thought, because the weather forecast for tomorrow didn't predict very good weather, that I would take one more little bike tour from Limburg an der Lahn to Gießen. Since I rode through the homeland of my cycling friend Jens, I tried to reach him. Jens was also on the move but had passed, so I just about …
