Lahn-Cycle-Path sporty, Lahn source – Coblenz

The Lahn-spring is located in the middle of Germany in the beautiful Rothaar Mountains. You spend the night directly at the spring in the middle of the forest in the cozy, comfortable “Forsthaus Lahnquelle".

The first day of cycling flies by. From the source of the Lahn you cycle through wooded countryside via Feudingen to Bad Laasphe and via Biedenkopf to the old university town of Marburg. The famous Elisabeth Church and the Marburg Landgrave's Castle are well worth a visit here. Culture and history have always inspired each other in Marburg. Let yourself be captivated by the fairytale-like old town. Enjoy pleasant evenings in restaurants or cosy student pubs.

Today you cycle through the wide Lahn floodplains via Gießen to the cathedral city of Wetzlar. Be sure to plan a visit to the old town - it's worth it! A visit to the visitor mine Grube Fortuna and the view from the fairytale castle of Braunfels are also well worth seeing.

Another highlight is on your programme. You cycle along the Lahn cycle path to Weilburg, whose Renaissance castle you should definitely not miss! You follow the Lahn cycle path very close to the river. Visit what is probably Germany's largest castle ruin in Runkel before you visit the world-famous Limburg Cathedral and the beautiful old town centre.

Once again, the Lahn cycle path offers the ultimate cycling pleasure. You cycle along the former towpath to Balduinstein. On this section, you will enjoy a picture-book cycle path! A refreshment stop at the Lahnwinzer on the Lahn refreshes your mind and palate. Visit Nassau Castle and the traditional Fürstenbad Bad Ems spa, which is well worth seeing, before the Rhine Valley opens up before your eyes. In Lahnstein, it's time to say goodbye to the idyllic course of the River Lahn, as you follow the Rhine Cycle Path for the last few kilometres to the centre of Coblenz.
