How the Theoretikerhütte got its name: A hiking group from Spay regularly visited their favorite innkeeper named Theo. This led to the idea of building a THEOretiker-Hütte. Source (on page 9) : https://www.vrminfo.de/fileadmin/data_vrminfo/PDF/2021/VRM_Wanderfuehrer_2021.pdf

From the Concordia Tower, the descent begins from the heights of the Lahn ridges in the Westerwald to the banks of the river. Several stops along the way, including the so-called "Mooshütte" (Moss Hut) dating from 1831, invite you to linger and enjoy the panorama of the river and the city.

Very nice route along the water. There is a rest area with benches at Jammertal. There are generally a few places to sit. You have to expect muddy terrain.
