Small Viaduct of the Ulmtal Cycle Path

Highlight • Bridge

Scenic stretch of the Lahn River

Highlight • River

Nothing is idyllic here on the B49 bridge over the Lahn, just loud.
The view of the Lahn is ok.

July 28, 2024,Vom P+R Parkplatz Wetzlar Dillfeld zur Ulmtalsperre und zurück:-)

Today a beautiful tour from Wetzlar to the Ulmtalsperre. A beautiful tour partly over the recently completed new section of the former railway line. It is a great ride and there is a lot to discover ;-)
