Observation station at the Wieseckaue biotope

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great "second-hand" biotope - located directly on the shore path through the Lahnauen!
Above all, numerous birds can be observed around the artificially created shallow water ponds 👌😀

New bike and pedestrian bridge over the Lahn

Highlight • Bridge

The renovation of this bridge is successful. The bright floor design alone, equipped with benches, makes this place very friendly.

August 16, 2024,Etappe 2b: Marburg nach Gießen – Lahnradweg

On the second day we drove about 100 km from Biedenkopf via Marburg and Gießen to Wetzlar. There we stayed overnight at the Wetzlarer Hof. The route is particularly beautiful on this stretch. Hardly any paths on busy roads and very varied.

September 14, 2021,entlang der Lahn, Teil 1 von Marburg bis Gießen

The start turned out to be difficult. When the bike was inflated, the valve broke and we had to find a bike repair shop that could fix it quickly. We were lucky too and were able to start two hours late. The route along the Lahn was very nice. But I recommend everyone to look for accommodation IN TIME. We …

Another short tour today—through meadows full of apple trees... we only see the Lahn River when crossing it the umpteenth time, but in Marburg we're close to it again. Along the way, there are places for remembrance, for pausing, for being still, or for reflection.

May 22, 2022,mir tut der Arsch weh Tour

2 tours in a row, I'm not used to it anymore. Neither does my butt. Trail riding is much nicer. Above all, you don't sit there that much.
The only positive, I saw 🐫🐫🐫.

October 10, 2021,Sonntags-Runde an Niederweimarer See 10.10.2021

Used the beautiful sunny Sunday for a light, relaxed round. At the Niederweimarer See we watched the wakeboarders with a latte macciato and a piece of cake. A nice place for a break right on the bike path and the lake.

May 19, 2023,Lahnradweg: Giessen - Burg Gleiberg - Marburg

A little detour to the Lahn... From Gießen I see this castle (Gleiberg) and think to myself, I don't know... But now. Very beautiful castle (view!!!) where you can "ride into the yard" by bike and walk through the castle walls (no entrance fee!)

Crisp climb at the top, but results in a nice elevation profile on this tour 😉
