A wonderful little place and the heart of the idealistic re-emergence of Lahn wine. A centuries-old tradition that had (almost) died out, but has been revived thanks to the enthusiasm of individuals since the early 2000s!

Be patient, and you'll enjoy the long descent—and the ascent, of course. Motorcyclists will overtake you every now and then, but the road leaves room for everyone.
