Himmelborn Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautifully framed source.
Personally, I think it's ingratitude towards the people who build and maintain such places when you put your bike on or even in the well.

View of Biedenkopf Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Immediately after the start of the Lahnhöhentour, the ascent gives a view of the wonderful Landgrave Castle, a fantastic start to a great day of hiking.

A nice rest area is around the stamping station! What surprises me at the Ludwigs Buche rest area is the second stamping point for the third stage of the Lahnwanderweg, the other stamping point is on the Entenberg.

View of the Perfstausee

Highlight • Viewpoint

A reservoir on the hiking trail is always a highlight. For the first time I saw the Perfstausee from the Endenberg and then in peace and quiet from the lake restaurant. Recommended.

Hugo Kracht Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This very well-maintained refuge of the Sauerland Mountain Association (SGV) is dedicated to Hugo Kracht, who was a board member of the SGV for many years and co-founder of the German Youth Hostel Association.

View from the Entenberg (Endenberg) across the Lahn Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From time to time you can watch paragliders taking off and how they glide down into the valley, which is gentle on their joints.

June 16, 2021,Lahnwanderweg flussaufwärts Biedenkopf - Bad Laasphe

Today I arrived in Bad Laasphe. So somewhere I stomped across the border with North Rhine-Westphalia, the third state through which the Lahn flows. It was very warm again today, so we started early and needed a lot of breaks and even more water for the 20 km.
The route is very varied and does not save on altitude. The …

Today again a lively up and down. We leave Bad Laasphe through the spa gardens and walk up the slope on a beautiful meadow path. On the Entenberg we have the first real panoramic view over the Lahn valley.
In the afternoon it slowly gets really warm when you hike in the sun. And suddenly a deer is standing close …

On to the 3rd stage. 😎
From the train station briefly through Bad Laasphe and after crossing the Lahn past an old beer cellar. Here in the area there are delicious Bosch 🍺 🍻 instead of Bosch refrigerators.
From the war memorial you have another great view of the city and Wittgenstein Castle. - It continues uphill to the Hugo-Kracht-Hütte. …

June 28, 2023,Lahnwanderweg 03. Etappe Bad Laasphe – Biedenkopf

The 3rd stage of the Lahn hiking trail started with the train ride to Bad Laasphe. On pleasant paths we first went up to the Entenberg with a great view. Unfortunately, before Breidenstein we continued on asphalt for a longer time before we stopped for a drink at the reservoir. Unfortunately, we were disappointed at the Bratwurstgraben. Nothing to see …
