Great inn, beautiful beer garden, delicious food and friendly service right at the source of the Lahn!

In this idyllic spot is the source of the Lahn, which is hidden in a pond. Right next door is the forester's lodge and a few meters further along the road is a second country inn. You can stop and spend the night in both.

September 7, 2022,20220907 Fahrradtour Biedenkopf zur Lahnquelle

From Bad Laaspe via the Lahnquellweg to the spring. Return via the Lahnradweg (currently tree felling work on the first five kilometers, therefore extremely bad routes!!)

The landscape is really great and the descent behind the source is fun.

The last stage was going to be tough. I couldn't leave the idyllic Auenland campsite in Lahntal until midday, it was so beautiful there 🏕🤩. A very nice final stage that really took my last bit of energy at the end 💪, but I'm always happiest in the evening when I'm really exhausted 🥰. An 8-part video series about this …

We actually started in Biedenkopf, but komoot recorded the first 11 km extra! Doesn't matter! Beautiful first part of the Lahn cycle path 👍🏻 start and finish Biedenkopf! but the source itself was not impressive. Tour was a lot of fun

I would do the tour the other way around, as I can imagine that the incline would be easier to manage.

Wonderful tour in late summer. Again like in Wittgenstein, damp paths and even puddles.
