January 11, 2025,Lahnwanderweg ✦ Etappe 16 ✦ Limburg – Balduinstein

That was a very easy stage, not particularly long and with only three relatively short climbs. Diez is the next town to join the never-ending list of beautiful Lahn towns. It feels like half of the photos are from there.
I also liked the paths in the Lahn heights between Fachingen and Balduinstein. Otherwise, however, it was a rather unspectacular …

The third week is dawning, and somehow the stages still ahead of me are dwindling. The end is almost in sight.

But I still have a few days left. And I'm looking forward to them.

Before I leave Limburg behind, I take a little detour through the old town. Then I climb the Schafsberg and out of town. The path …

Part 6 of our journey to the Rhine and stage 16 of the Lahn Hiking Trail. We quickly leave Limburg behind and hike through numerous rapeseed fields toward Diez. Here, you can visit the Count's Castle, which has been converted into a youth hostel. Coffee and cake are available in the adjoining bistro. A high-altitude trail then continues along the …

A few years ago, @Henke🐾 and I booked our first walking holiday. Back then through a German tour operator who had mapped out a walking holiday for us around the town of Limburg an der Lahn. On the first day we were presented with a short walk to Diez. During the stage we discovered that we were just following the …

Not the most spectacular stage, but a lot of rapeseed fields on this route! And the places Diez and Limburg an der Lahn with beautiful half-timbered houses are definitely worth a visit!

Unfortunately I forgot to start the route again after a break so there was a straight line.🙃 I downloaded the gpx route from @jan. You can post your …

August 5, 2025,Etappe 16: Von Limburg an der Lahn nach Balduinstein – Lahnwanderweg

We set off this morning in the rain, and then the sun came out.
The Lahnhöhenweg from Limburg to Diez isn't particularly well signposted, and a large section is impassable due to overgrowth.
The rest of the route was great again.
