Nice weather hut for a break, but the view is quite overgrown.

The Lahnradweg is wonderfully developed and (mostly) well signposted. You don't really need a map. However, you should not underestimate that certain areas of the Lahn are rather damp or canyon-like and then involve some very challenging climbs on the cycle path - unlike, for example, along the Rhine.

Beautiful pavilion, which invited for a rest after the crisp climb.
