A little more than a weekend – but a lot of vacation. On this cycle tour you start in the lively university town of Marburg, famous for its Elisabeth Church and the Landgrave's Castle. Look forward to the relaxed atmosphere in the city with its quaint student bars. Tourism, culture and history have always stimulated each other in Marburg. That was already the case in the 13th century: The Teutonic Order built the first Gothic hall church on German soil in honor of Saint Elisabeth, who died here in 1231. The Elisabeth Church became a destination for pilgrims from all over the country - a first form of tourism. When Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous founded the university in 1527, he laid the foundation for the cosmopolitan university city with students and visitors from all over the world. Enjoy the peace and quiet in the idyllic streets of the historic half-timbered town of Wetzlar and marvel at the world-famous Limburg Cathedral and the city center, which is completely under monument protection. Immerse yourself in the river of time. Living Middle Ages in a modern city. Let's start with the old bridge. In earlier times, a ford served as a crossing over the Lahn, and from the middle of the 12th century the first wooden bridge was built. On the last day of cycling, enjoy a scenic highlight, away from any traffic, you roll through the untouched valley landscape before your journey to Bad Ems ends.

You leave Wetzlar over the stone bridge and soon reach the Fortuna mine (+ 8 km), the only iron ore mine in Germany, where ore mining is demonstrated to visitors underground using original machines. The route to Weilburg, whose Renaissance castle lies on a high rocky ridge above the Lahn, remains unforgettable in terms of landscape. The river then winds between Taunus and Westerwald.
