Lahntal star tour

Cycle along varied bike paths, forest tracks, and farm roads to the "Dammühle," one of the most beautiful restaurants in the Marburg hinterland. Be captivated by this historic, listed watermill, which has been family-owned for over 300 years. Take a seat in the idyllic beer garden and enjoy the tranquil natural surroundings. Before heading back, be sure to test your climbing skills in the climbing park, just 300 meters away. A short climb (approximately 500 meters) gets you back in the saddle, but then it's a smooth ride back to the old university town of Marburg.

Look forward to your first cycling stage and the more than 700-year-old Brücker Mill. This historic, faithfully reconstructed mill is still in operation today. Watch the fascinating process of milling grain into flour. Afterwards, the café in the idyllic mill courtyard beckons, or perhaps you'd prefer a spot on the green sofa in the old pump room. Refreshed and invigorated, you'll tackle the climb up to the historic town of Amöneburg. You'll be rewarded with a unique panoramic view, a wonderful circular path along the town walls, and finally, a thrilling descent. From there, you'll cycle quickly back to Marburg on completely flat bike paths.

A real highlight awaits you today. In high spirits, you'll cycle along a former railway line towards your rewarding destination: Rauischholzhausen Castle and Park.

It has been a protected landscape since 1956 and was even included in the European Garden Heritage Network's European Theme Route in 2009. Admire the small castle, treat yourself in the charming café, and let your bike meander through the vast castle park before cycling back to Marburg along the scenic railway line.
