This tour offers plenty of time for everything.

Arrival on your own and the day is at your leisure. Please allow plenty of time for exploring the historic old town and St. Elizabeth's Church.

Overnight stay: Marburg

Saying goodbye to enchanting Marburg is difficult! But in the wide Lahn valley you roll quickly on flat paths to Gießen and can enjoy the ride through fields and fields without any worries. The Mathematicum, the first hands-on mathematical museum in the world, attracts visitors to Gießen. Over 120 exhibits open a new door to mathematics. Visitors of all ages and educational backgrounds experiment: they put together jigsaw puzzles, build bridges, rack their brains with riddles, watch a ball race, stand in a giant soap skin and much more. Let yourself be surprised!

Today's stage is an easy cycle route, taking you effortlessly to Wetzlar by mid-morning. Explore the old town and its fascinating cathedral on a leisurely stroll – it's well worth it! Wander through the medieval market square, discovering steep steps, narrow lanes, and romantic corners. Experience Wetzlar's modern side on the Optics Trail. Here you'll discover optical phenomena, such as a large diamond made of optical glass that sparkles and reflects light, or a kaleidoscope with endless reflections.

The first daily kilometers run in the whooshing wind. The route to Weilburg, whose Renaissance castle is located on a high rocky ridge above the Lahn, remains unforgettable in terms of landscape. Look forward to an informative castle tour, the beautiful castle garden with cafe and the only ship tunnel in Germany, which was completed in 1847 and shortens a large, wide loop of the Lahn.

Today, the course of the river meanders between the Taunus and the Westerwald. You cycle on the paved towpath via Aumenau and Runkel to Limburg with its world-famous cathedral. Look forward to Limburg, because only a few towns have retained their entire ensemble of medieval buildings almost intact. That is why today the formerly walled city center with its half-timbered buildings from the 13th - 18th century (often decorated with colorful figurative carvings) is completely under monument protection! There are Burgmannenhöfe and canons' houses, houses of wealthy patricians and numerous hall houses, the typical commercial and residential buildings of the merchant lords.

Look forward to a particularly scenic section of your journey today. From from traffic, you'll cycle from Diez through the idyllic Lahn Valley to Balduinstein. A climb along the way provides some variety before you can relax with a break at Arnstein Monastery or Nassau Castle. Afterwards, the route continues to Bad EmsThe traditional spa town welcomes you with its impressive architecture along the Lahn River: the spa building, spa café, marble hall, spa theater, and casino form a magnificent backdrop. The well-maintained grounds of the spa park also invite you to take a relaxing stroll and linger awhile.

After just 12 kilometers, the wide Rhine Valley opens up before you, offering a magnificent view. Follow the well-maintained Rhine Cycle Path along the river to the Deutsches Eck (German Corner) and on to the center of Koblenz. There, a multitude of sights await you: discover the historic old town, marvel at the confluence of the Rhine and... Mosel Or take the cable car up to the imposing Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The Electoral Palace and the beautiful Rhine promenade are also well worth a visit.

Your wonderful cycling holiday ends today after breakfast. Return transfer to Marburg can be booked.
