A beautiful hike from Hainallee in Weilburg along the Lahn River to Odersbach and back again. Some fitness and surefootedness are required for the climb and subsequent descent through the forest. The rest of the route is a relaxed walk along the cycling and hiking path.

September 19, 2021,Kleine Lahnrunde mit Schloss in Weilburg

The path begins along the Lahn, a brief glance from the footbridge, then to the taxi ferry. Unfortunately, it doesn't start back to the jetty on the other side until 1:00 p.m. Why the Lahn hiking trail behind it doesn't stay on the Lahn remains a mystery to us. At least at some point to the Lahn, once there and …

The start and finish point of the tour was a car park in the Weilburg district of Kirchhofen. We went along the Lahn to Weilburg, although the path along the Hauseley (currently 26.1.25) is closed due to flooding and the condition of the area. So we unplannedly went up the somewhat slippery path to the pavilion and then back down …
