Nothing is idyllic here on the B49 bridge over the Lahn, just loud.

Löhnberg Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The floor of the bridge is made of gratings, so it is not suitable for people with a fear of heights. However, the view of the Lahn valley is wonderful.

In nice weather, to the Fortuna mine "Spring Awakening." My bike is running after the inspection, and I can still do it. 2025 has begun. 🫡😎🚴

Well signposted, good roads, but mostly along federal highways

After the train station in Leun, do not follow the R7 signs to the left, as it then goes up steeply for a while. It is better to follow the road for 1 km and you will come back to the same place without an increase. So just follow my track.

Today's rather relaxing tour took us to Weilburg. Here, we admired the splendid flowers in the castle park. After a delicious ice cream in the old town, the tour continued through Selters and Tiefenbach back home.

Not a nice way! From Weilburg to Lahnstein top. I only recorded the way back. The ice cream in Wetzlar was great 🤣

Today's tour from Wetzlar to Weilburg isn't very long, but we still made a detour to the "Fortuna" museum mine, even though it was closed. A guided tour would have taken about an hour.

The river continues to widen, and there are locks for shipping. We haven't seen any ships on the Lahn yet, except for paddle boats.

Unfortunately, usually very far from the Lahn and often near roads, but still nice.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of walking along roads, on the left the motorway and the railway line, on the right the thoroughfare. The topping was very good. Unfortunately there was no bike path on 2-3 busy streets. It went up and down too. I've pushed my loaded Biobike quite a few times. I didn't like this section that much. …
