Gelbachtal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Here you can cycle 23 km from the Lahn to Montabaur through the scenic Gelbachtal with mostly moderate gradients. However, the valley is also popular with motorcyclists and day trippers, so that on nice weekends you are not exactly out and about alone.

New Lahn Bridge Diez

Highlight • Bridge

In order to close the gap on the Lahn cycle path between Laurenburg and Geilnau, two bridges have to be built. The cycle path will be relocated to the other side near Cramberg for a short section. The entire new construction should be completed in May 2022.
In June 2022, only individual abutments can be seen.
