Here on the Aartal cycle path, there are still some relics of the old Aartal railway line to admire.

The house looks more interesting in the photo than in reality. But the deep mill stream running through Miehlen is something special.

New, clean rest area. Great views of Katzenelnbogen and the surrounding area, as well as the TGaunus up to the Feldberg (on a clear day).

A beautiful rest area with breathtaking views over the Einrich and far into the Taunus Mountains. Katzenelnbogen and the small villages lie at your feet.

🚰 Continuous water fountain near Zollhaus – cool refreshment along the trail A real insider tip on the Aartal Cycle Path: The acidic water fountain near Zollhaus provides fresh, clear water even on hot days – directly from the tap, always available. Ideal for cyclists and hikers who want to refill their water bottles or simply take a short break. 💧 Tip: Have a cup or bottle handy – the water runs continuously, without the need to press a button. A quiet helper along the trail – and worth its weight in gold, not just in the summer heat.

A good level of fitness or an e-bike is helpful for the journey. If you like, you can reward yourself with coffee and cake.
