Lahn Riverside Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

A wonderful cycle path that takes you directly along the banks of the Lahn. It winds through the narrow Lahn valley and offers you great views of the wooded slopes and steep rock faces that line the valley.

Bad Ems is a very sophisticated spa town with a beautiful and manageable park on the Lahn, extremely well-kept buildings, cafés, restaurants and a classic grand hotel like in Monaco.

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.

Lahn Cycle Path (Lahnradweg)

Highlight • Cycleway

Great, quiet bike path along the Lahn. If you drive past the boat moorings of the campsite, you may see canoeists, stand up paddlers and fishermen. Super connection path from Lahnstein to Bad Ems.

April 19, 2025,Ostern 2025: 1. Von Koblenz entlang an Rhein, Lahn und Gelbach nach Montabaur
The tour started at Koblenz Central Station and led over the Pfaffendorf Bridge to the right bank of the Rhine, where it followed the Rhine upstream to the mouth of the Lahn.

Then it continued 43 km along the idyllic course of the Lahn, past small harbors, piers, locks, campsites, and even morbid industrial heritage from past decades.

A natural valley in the lower reaches that exudes a lot of peace. However, the cycle path is sometimes riddled with obstacles, such as road surfaces that have slipped into the valley or fallen trees that have been there for some time. There are few supply options after Bad Ems! So pack water and food for the trip to Limburg. …

From Ascension Day to Pentecost, I cycled from Koblenz to Berlin, roughly following the old route of the Kanonenbahn (Cannon Railway). I've written about what prompted me to do this at blog.kleinradfahrer.de/2025/05/29/ueberblick-von-koblenz-nach-berlin-entlang-der-alten-kanonenbahn.

The first stage is now online. The detailed description can be found at:
blog.kleinradfahrer.de/2025/06/08/tag-1-der-kanonenbahnfahrt-von-koblenz-nach-balduinstein


The remaining rides will follow in the next few days.

On the last stage of the Lahn Cycle Path we were spoiled once again with great views of the Lahn. And not just because you cycle along the historic towpath. In the Lahn Valley there are also many large and small towns that offer more or less picturesque buildings and a "contemplative" ambience.
You don't necessarily have to like these …

Exactly, I was still missing the Lahn!

Wet, cool, windy and uncomfortable, that's how it started... the cycle path on the Rhine in Pfaffendorf and Horchheim are, in my opinion, not so great to ride...🫣
... and I also find it a bit "ugly" to drive the first few kilometers on the Lahn...🤷🏼‍♂️
...but with the weather, "the path" also …

Today I cycled in a completely different direction. There is hardly a better day for such a tour. Since today was the beginning of autumn, you could say I started in late summer and arrived back at my destination in autumn. It's a bit far for one time of year :-) Unfortunately, one or two accidents always occur along the …
