September 19, 2021,Aussichtspunkt Wotansberg – Burg Laurenburg Runde von Holzappel
From Holzappel it goes slightly downhill to the Lahn.
Shortly along the Lahn and then uphill towards the destination.
An entertaining, beautiful circular route.

Nice and relaxed, secluded tour on mostly small paths. With beautiful views of the Laurenburg and the Lahn.
Unfortunately, the Laurenburg is currently closed and cannot be visited inside.
The mining educational trail on the way back was also interesting, with information about earlier mining on site and the remains of buildings.
Distributed over the entire course there are nice …

Today we went from Laurenburg Castle to the Laurenburg castle ruins, over the hill, through the forest and Holzappel to the Holzappel mine educational trail and back to the Laurenburg train station parking lot.
