Arnstein Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice climb, unfortunately on asphalt. From there you can either go through the Dörsbachtal to Singhofen or just get there. The monastery is also worth a short stay. Especially in summer it is worth visiting the cool walls.

Hollerich Weir and Lock on the Lahn

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

A very nice and interesting way to cross the Lahn and then continue your hike. Wheels have to be carried up the stairs, there is no sliding rail.

As already mentioned, a beautiful place in the Lahn Valley.

Powder Tower Obernhof

Highlight • Monument

The powder tower is a nice change of pace and reminds of the quarry work that used to take place here.

Ladder trail with cable protection Nassau

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great section, like so many on the way. Partly secured with ladders and ropes as well as step irons. In some cases, simple alternative workarounds are possible

Adelhahn Via Ferrata

Highlight • Climb

Everything is easily doable if you can also manage to get the ladder up to the attic at home.. However, you should wear suitable shoes and not be afraid
