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!

Whit Monday tour with obstacles.
Scenically beautiful, technically... let's call it challenging.
Two e-bikes, a stuck battery, a dead battery, and a biobike that saved the day.
The details? Available on my blog starting Thursday – under the heading "Hiking, Waiting, Madness."
Spoiler alert: I almost pushed the bike. Like in 1981.

The route can also be completed without an electric motor. Then it is medium difficulty. My battery died halfway through. Nevertheless, I managed this route.

Today, I'm out on a rental e-bike of the latest generation 🙈🤣 (see photo no. 12). Still, it was a very nice tour, and afterward, I visited Runkel Castle 🏰 (komoot put the pictures at the top 🤷🏼‍♀️)

Today a wonderful bike ride along the Lahn from Runkek to Limburg and back. We didn't even know that there is also a bridge festival today. It was wonderful, with Micky and Minni, delicious ice cream and a fun canoe trip on the Lahn.

That actually still happens. No rain or storms, but sunshine. Even the Hessian State Railway ran and was on time.
A small, lovely tour with the grandchildren Lena and Laura from Villmar to Limburg.
