Continuation from the day before, first of all enjoy the wonderful morning atmosphere in Dausenau. The 18th stage actually also includes the section from Bad Ems to Dausenau, but I had added that to the stage from the previous day. For this I have also included the detour via Nassau Castle, which is worthwhile above all because of the beautiful …

A great tour that requires a lot of fitness. Unfortunately, in Weinähr the bridge was closed due to construction work and there were no diversion signs.

Third and final part of my short trip and I think there were even more magnificent valley views to "dust off" than the day before.

The stage began as the last one ended, namely with a climb, the Adelhahn climbing trail. This is very short, basically only consists of two ladders, a handful of steps and rope safety. The so-called …

Finally, the weather and time available were right for this demanding stage. Great paths and mostly shady trails. Ideal for today's weather.
I had already walked parts of the route on other tours, but you can walk it again and again, it's so varied.
This time I just skipped the castle in Nassau, which is worth seeing, in favor of …

July 6, 2022,Lahnwanderweg 18 Obernhof– Bad Ems

Today is hiking weather. Mild 23 degrees and a mix of sun and clouds lure you outside. With rucksack food, hiking sticks and this long-planned tour. It goes to the Lahn. And with the 9 euro ticket today, you can do that in a relaxed and inexpensive way. From Obernhof over the heights of the Lahn hiking trail, over many …
