Lahn Riverside Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Singletrail??? I associate something completely different with that!
This is actually a very nice path (mostly gravel) along the Lahn riverbank.
However, the path is wide enough for two cyclists to pass each other easily 😉

Sunday tour, very relaxed from the stool/bike. If it weren't for the little 😈 devil in me to go into the forest, at least a little bit. And you immediately pass the devil’s pulpit 😈😂

Lutzebub took me on trails that were unknown to me. He skipped the most difficult ones out of consideration for me. And yet the round challenged me. Big thanks to Lutz for the adventure.
