June 8, 2026, View of the Lahn, Old Bridge, and Limburg Cathedral

From here, you should not only enjoy the impressive view and scenery of Limburg, but also decide to cross the old bridge to get a closer look at Limburg's fantastic old town and the Domberg. A wonderful city!

Right next door is the very good (albeit slightly more expensive) ice cream shop, where you can fortify yourself for the climb to the cathedral ;)

The Katzenturm (Cat Tower) is part of Limburg's former city fortifications. And if you turn around, you can buy some fantastic ice cream at the ice cream shop.
