This beautiful, finely graveled cycle path runs along the Wörsbach between Gnadenthal and Dauborn. The sheep often graze in the meadows and otherwise it looks very rural here, despite the proximity to the motorway and ICE route.

June 9, 2025,Radrundtour Ems- und Wörsbachtal 45km 3h ab Idstein
A very beautiful, not overly demanding, circuit. Starting at a P&R parking lot in Idstein, the route continues with only moderate inclines along mostly paved or light gravel bike paths and mostly quiet roads through beautiful natural landscapes and meadows.

This time we stopped for a lunch break in Oberrupten, in the restaurant "Zum Laubustal". The food was delicious and everyone was happy. After lunch we went back to Idstein on the …

This section of the circular tour Ems- & Wörsbachtal can actually be easily and fun cycled. Today it was just too hot, the fun factor lost noticeably at almost 40 degrees in the sun in the Emsbachtal. He certainly didn't want to come back when he went from Walsdorf along the Idsteiner Straße over the sunny hump to Wörsdorf in …

Today was the first bike ride in 2025 with my wife.
The great weather had to be taken advantage of.
What does my better half like to ride the most:
the Emsbach-Wörsbach cycle path, of course.
It was still a little chilly at the start of the tour, but it slowly became more pleasant.
We took a short break in …

Great tour, mostly paved or at least paved paths with many scenic sections.

And because the paths are so beautiful, there were a lot of cyclists out on Sunday, September 7, 2025, in the great late summer weather. 🙏
