Stork Nest in the Lahnaue Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Lahnaue nature reserve includes wet meadows and several lakes that were created from former gravel pits. The area has developed into an important resting and transit area for waterfowl. So always stay on the path. If you keep quiet, you have a good chance of spotting some of the shy birds.

July 14, 2024,Tour vom Messe Parkplatz Gießen zur Schleuse Löhnberg und zurück:-)

The actual destination for today's tour was the Löhnberg lock. Unfortunately, the snack bar was closed due to illness. A spontaneous new destination was quickly found. The Hof Saltrissa beer garden in Selters. About 1 km away. Sometimes you find things by chance or other circumstances that you wouldn't have come across otherwise. In short, it's a very commendable place. …

We had to deviate from our originally planned route because a bridge was demolished, which we weren't aware of. A feature like "Road Closed Ahead" would have been helpful in that case. As it was, the navigation system was constantly annoying us with reversing instructions.

April 28, 2026,Lahn-Radweg 3. Tag von Lollar bis Weilburg

The weather was ideal again. Most of the cycle path was easy to ride. The excursions to Altenberg Monastery ⛪️ and later to Braunfels 🏰 were a highlight, although our e-bike support 💪 was in high demand both times. 😅😅😅
The section from the town of Lahnbahnhof to Löhnberg did not please us so much, as the route mostly ran …

Hello dear cycling friends!
We are on the road again.
In the coming days we would like to ride the "Lahntal Cycle Path" with you.
We will cycle from the source of the Lahn to the mouth of the Rhine and a little further.

Forget to take photos while cycling. Traveling too fast with the eBike. But dream 😍😍😍😍😍
Unfortunately I'm going to end it a bit earlier today because I'm still going out to eat 😉

September 2, 2024,2. Etappe Gießen Fahrrad, Badespass, Wetzlar nach Weilburg

Today we went from Gießen to Weilburg. It is not clear why the cycle path signs led into the city center of Gießen, even though there was a nice cycle path parallel to the Lahn!! Overall, the signage is poor. In large and smaller cities, the cycle path signs are about 2 to 3 meters high and thus at truck …

August 20, 2025,* Biobiken & Weggelager an der Lahn

So, today there was an open argument with some over-70 e-bike men wrapped in Tour de France T-shirts: "How are we doing with our biobikes?" - "better than you." And after the loud laughter and the silence to the question/answer "where to?" - "to Berlin/Leipzig" - the men took a wrong turn. Geese were waylaid and only reluctantly cleared the …
