This listed, six-arched railway bridge over the Sandbach valley was built in 1882. Local materials were used in its construction: basalt, trachyte, and brick. It was renovated in 2017/18.

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.

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.

Cycling here in the Lahn Valley when the weather is nice is always a great pleasure! The fact that there is no road in this section of the valley is an invaluable advantage!

July 27, 2023,Lahnradweg - Von Weilburg nach Oberlahnstein
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 …

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

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 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 …

The Lahn Valley Cycle Path can compete with the beautiful cycle paths. If not the most beautiful. It's asphalt throughout, almost entirely flat, and completely on its own dedicated route. On the map, it looked as if there were several roads running along it. In reality, you couldn't feel them; it felt like 100km through the Garden of Eden. The …

Lahn cycle path - stage 3
from Weilburg to Lahnstein/Koblenz


Started in Wallau at 7:25 a.m. with the train towards the end point of the 2nd stage in Weilburg, from there in the unpleasantly cold temperature but dry weather towards Lahnstein.
During this stage, the Lahn was crossed 13 times and 7 districts were crossed, which, like our multiple stops …

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