Relaxed bike path right along the banks of the Lahn. In summer you can watch the many canoeists on the water here.

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).

A beautiful route! 👍😁

Today, at the end of our vacation, we took a short bike ride to Balduinstein. The route and the scenery were varied. We started in sunshine 🌞 and arrived at our destination in the rain ☔️. After a break in the rain, we started the return journey. We rode from one rain shower to the next. It was still fun.

Showing Translation

Great section on the Lahn cycle path between Diez with half-timbered houses & castle and Balduinstein with a view of the castle and a comfortable break option.
Idyllic route sometimes on asphalt sometimes on paths, mostly directly on the river.

Showing Translation

We have to ride the Lahn cycle path completely, the section that we rode here (we were in the area for other reasons and had the bikes on the car with us) is beautiful!
