An exciting, very narrow path along the Lahn loop around Dietz. It's not flat, not smooth, with a few rocks and roots, but it's no problem with a mountain bike.

The path runs along the Gelbach stream in a natural setting and provides shade in the summer. It's interesting for hikers, cyclists, and mountain bikers.
