The old Wetzlar Lahn Bridge is the oldest of the medieval bridges over the Lahn. It was first mentioned in 1288. The bridge is formed by seven arches and is 104 m long.

Iron Market, Wetzlar

Highlight • Historical Site

There are also many small restaurants and cafés at the Eisenmarkt in Wetzlar that invite you to linger. When the weather is nice you can sit outside and enjoy the historic facades of the half-timbered houses.

May 17, 2025,Fahrradtour nach Schloß Braunfels, mit Reifenpanne 🙈
Unfortunately, I had a flat tire on this tour in the middle of the forest, and I had unpacked all my tools and tire spray shortly before because we wanted to go shopping and needed space in my pannier.
