View of the Lahn River bend from Gabelstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are two rocks with a view. The second rock has an open rock edge on the one hand, on the other hand should only be entered carefully because of nature conservation.

A great place with lots of little details to discover. Just keep your eyes open. There is also really delicious ice cream on the banks of the Lahn.

The Lahnhöhenweg is a beautiful path through the forest that grows on the Lahn slopes. The Lahn repeatedly squints through the trees.

Diez Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

There is no shortage of ice cream parlors and the way up to the castle is easy to walk. Nice corner, you can also sit and relax down by the old Lahn Bridge.

Tour partly in very bad condition. Parts around Baldwinstein are completely closed. Then a diversion and suddenly a blockage without notice. When used, there were a lot of fallen trees and a lot of climbing around, mud and poor condition of the path. Nice drinking water filling station at the entrance to Fachingen.
