A great route, especially in the sunset from Salzboden in the direction of Reimershausen. Also great for gravel or cross bikes.

Dreiherrenstein Krofdorfer Forest

Highlight • Historical Site

In Krofdorfer forest (municipality Wettenberg), only a few hundred meters northwest of the forest house you will find the "Dreiherrenstein". It was set in 1669 on the border between the Landgravates of Hessen-Darmstadt and Hesse-Cassel. In the south, the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg was added. He got the name from the three men HD, HC and NW. In later years, additional landmarks were added as a result of territorial development. In 1806, the county Hesse-Darmstadt became the Grand Duchy of Hesse. Through the Peace of 1815 and the decisions of the Congress of Vienna, the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg went to the Kingdom of Prussia. The most recently established landmark No 241, KP GBF = Gleiberger Forst, GH KRB = Krumbach is still the legal limit today.

Old railroad bridge over the Lahn

Highlight • Bridge

This is the only bicycle-friendly Lahn crossing between the northern Lollar (where the cycle path simply ends at the end of the bridge) and the cycle path from Wismar to Gießen, on the edge of the busy "Wißmarer Weg" (3km downstream, at the level of the Launsbacher Lakes).

Maybe some of you are interested in her story:
The former railway bridge was originally part of the “Cannon Railway”. This was built before the founding of the German Empire, bypassing the city of Giessen (as it did not belong to Prussia) as a rail connection from Berlin to the west. The name said it all. It was actually about ensuring state-owned military logistics. Wetzlar was a junction of the cannon railway. The Lollar - Wetzlar section was officially opened on October 15, 1878.
The Kanonenbahn branched off to the west onto its own route in Lollar and met the Lahntalbahn in Wetzlar, on which it continued west.
