Lahntal Cycle Path

Popular both among pleasure cyclists and ambitious athletes is the nearly 250-kilometer-long Lahn Valley Cycle Path. The best-known cycle path in the Lahn Valley follows the river through very diverse landscapes from the source to the mouth and repeatedly offers interesting side routes – for example, for mountain bikers. Highlights of the route include the romantic town of Braunfels, 55 kilometers from Marburg, with its 13th-century castle. The Goethe city of Wetzlar also invites you to take an extended city walk along the way. You can find the exact route here.
