I was cycling along the Weiltal cycle path and suddenly noticed a loud rushing noise. I just stopped and looked at the masses of water flowing towards the Lahn. 😃

The forest path from Gnadenthal to Wallrabenstein and Wörsdorf along the Wörsbach is one of the most beautiful hiking and cycling trails in the Taunus. Ideally, you can do it as a circular tour from Niederbrechen via Hünfelden-Dauborn to Idstein and via Bad Camberg back to Niederbrechen along the Emsbach. Once a year, an official cycling tour takes place through these two-stream valleys.
