Diez Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

There is no shortage of ice cream parlors and the way up to the castle is easy to walk. Nice corner, you can also sit and relax down by the old Lahn Bridge.

Lahn cycle path along the river near Balduinstein

Well-compacted gravel path that is not level, but still easy to ride on a racing bike.

A wonderful cycle path that takes you directly along the banks of the Lahn. It winds through the narrow Lahn valley and offers you great views of the wooded slopes and steep rock faces that line the valley.

Old Lahn Bridge, Diez

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice bridge with a great view of the castle.
!! Attention when driving over !! The white lines mark an edge that is easily overlooked in backlight or dusk. As a cyclist, you can quickly stumble here (own experience).

Along the Lahn River to Limburg.

A great bike path, pure nature with a wealth of history.

Limburg, with its many half-timbered houses and restaurants, is worth a visit.

The trees have been lying near Fachingen since the end of December and are blocking the cycle path. In almost 3 months, the city of Diez has not managed to clear this path... Pack!!
