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.

Bad Ems is a place worth seeing, not only for the Great Flower Parade. It also offers many hiking tours to the Taunus heights on both sides and the wonderful Lahn Valley cycle path.

Today we continued along the Lahn cycle path in the direction of Lahnstein. Here the Lahn flows into the Rhine.
Since it was already raining in the morning, I immediately put on my full rain gear. The route from the start accompanies 95% of the Lahn. It was almost entirely through nature far away from street noise and other sounds …

That was the last leg of the Lahn tour.
We liked the third leg the best in terms of scenery.
This tour is particularly good for slowing down.
If it's too much for you, you can make it a two-day trip.
There's plenty to see on both sides of the Lahn.
We also found plenty of restaurants.

Today the crowning conclusion.
This part was the most beautiful for me so far.

And shortly before Koblenz the battery went out completely😁
The tour then went on to Altwied without navigation system and map, i.e. following our nose. However, always over the highest climbs in the area and nicely zigzagging. So there was still a lot of altitude gain in the last few kilometers... The first and only storm was still brewing near …

Another day of pleasure for cycling today. Sun 🌞, the Lahn and the bike path on it. 👍 from Weilburg it goes via Limburg to Diez. Then on to Nassau and Bad Ems and to the mouth of the Lahn in Niederlahnstein. That's it! We are driving home. Stayed healthy and it was fun 🤗🙋🏻 ♂️🙋🏻 ♀️

Today is the final and the fourth and last stage... which was actually the most beautiful of all... the best comes at the end, so to speak! :)

I set off from Weilburg shortly after 7:00 a.m. because I woke up so early and breakfast wasn't available until around 8:30 a.m. In this way, you had the riverside cycle path …

For me, one of the most beautiful river bike paths in Germany 🇩🇪🚲🍀👍
