View of the railway bridge over the Lahn

Highlight • Bridge

Even from a distance I don't find this bridge beautiful, but it's a matter of taste.

Scenic stretch of the Lahn River

Highlight • River

Nothing is idyllic here on the B49 bridge over the Lahn, just loud.
The view of the Lahn is ok.

Löhnberg Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The floor of the bridge is made of gratings, so it is not suitable for people with a fear of heights. However, the view of the Lahn valley is wonderful.

Unfortunately, usually very far from the Lahn and often near roads, but still nice.

On the third day we drove from Wetzlar via Weilburg, Limburg, Diez, Geilnau, Scheidt, Oberhof to Nassau. In Nassau we stayed at the Hotel Lahnromantik. A beautiful, old half-timbered hotel, rustic and quaint. We liked it a lot.
In Nassau we stopped off at the town hall in the evening.

After the train station in Leun, do not follow the R7 signs to the left, as it then goes up steeply for a while. It is better to follow the road for 1 km and you will come back to the same place without an increase. So just follow my track.

A boring tour. Lacks all the natural beauty that you would imagine when you think of "cycling along the Lahn". Long stretches along motorways and federal highways. Partly on these federal highways. 3 critical crossings of federal highways are necessary.
All in all, this tour is disharmonious. Not relaxing.
However: See comment from July 9th, Weilburg-Limburg stage

June 10, 2025,Lahn-RW: #3 Wetzlar- Weilburg

Today's tour from Wetzlar to Weilburg isn't very long, but we still made a detour to the "Fortuna" museum mine, even though it was closed. A guided tour would have taken about an hour.

The river continues to widen, and there are locks for shipping. We haven't seen any ships on the Lahn yet, except for paddle boats.

We only did the tour from Weilburg to Wetzlar. Then we went to the castle hotel in Braunfels.
Highlights are Wetzlar with its historic old town, as well as Braunfels with its historical flair and the large fortress.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of walking along roads, on the left the motorway and the railway line, on the right the thoroughfare. The topping was very good. Unfortunately there was no bike path on 2-3 busy streets. It went up and down too. I've pushed my loaded Biobike quite a few times. I didn't like this section that much. …
