October 10, 2026,Lahn-Westerwald-Runde

Although I walked the Herrnlei-Steig almost a month ago, today I went back to Dausenau to do the Lahn-Westerwald-Runde. Personally, I found this circular trail varied. However, this trail once again belongs to the category: poorly to not at all signposted in some places. For this reason, you should not do the Lahn-Westerwald-Runde without navigation.
