Bad Camberg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The town centre is not too big, but it has a number of beautiful half-timbered houses. It is worth leaving the main route and exploring a little.

View of Limburg Cathedral from the cycle path

Very nice view from the Lahn to the Limburg Cathedral. Be sure to visit the city center with its many half-timbered houses. The squares in the historic city center with the many cafés invite you to linger. Absolutely worth seeing!

After a hearty breakfast, we first went on a short city tour through Hadamar, with beautiful spots, but also to an unspeakable place of the Nazi past: the memorial for the Nazi "euthanasia" action T4. Unbelievable what people can do to …
