Wetzlar Cathedral (Wetzlarer Dom)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Wetzlar Cathedral is a landmark of the city and can be seen from afar. The ascent through the old town is worthwhile.

Ilmenau Park

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Why is this park called "Ilmenau-Anlage"?
Ilmenau is the Thuringian twin town of Wetzlar.
The park is located on a stream with several small ponds. It is worth taking a break here and enjoying the silence.

View of Dünsberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view of the valley and the Dünsberg. If you hike to the Königstuhl coming from the direction of Heuchelheim, it is worthwhile to walk past the junction to the Königstuhl and take in the view.

Frauenkreuz Shelter and Memorial

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The cross, erected at that time to observe the peace of God, reminds people, as it once did, to be at peace with themselves and with creation. Past the Königstuhl we go through a wonderful deciduous forest.

August 11, 2024,Lahnwanderweg ✦ Etappe 10 ✦ Rodheim-Bieber – Wetzlar
The landscape has changed quite a bit over the course of the last stages. The Lahn valley became wider, the hills lower, settlements and agricultural areas increased. It is still varied, the mix of nature and classic sights is still attractive, the paths are extraordinarily well maintained.

Another stage on the Lahnwanderweg, which I found to be somewhat unspectacular overall. After the Zweiburgenblick right at the beginning, it goes through the forest for a long time, views are scarce. The short detour to the Roman Forum near Waldgirmes wasn't really worth it, there wasn't much to see there. After all, when looking over the fields and meadow …

Very nice section of the Lahn hiking trail. Very varied! Starting in Rodheim-Bieber, we first went through a long section of forest. Then along fields until you go over and along the Lahn.
The last stretch runs parallel to the Goetheweg and goes through the Wertherstrasse (the sorrows of young Werther) and past the Lottehaus, the childhood home of Charlotte …

From the bus stop in Rodheim-Bieber we could immediately start the stage. After we have passed a few allotments or ordinary vegetable gardens, I have no idea whether allotments exist in Germany, it goes up through a forest. Just below the top we turn to the right to enjoy the view of the village of Rodheim. When we have left …

250 years after Goethe I came to Wetzlar today on the 10th stage of the Lahnwanderweg. Unfortunately the weather was modest. Otherwise, the route begins again very nicely wooded. Then there are what feels like a lot of asphalted sections.

Went to the starting point in Rodheim-Bieber this morning at 9.30 am by train and bus. From there we walked back to Wetzlar.
It wasn't that bad in the forest, but on the open parts it quickly became 28 degrees around noon and if you also have to go up..🥵
But we made it!😀 often pause and a little less …

Today I went to stamp my trail along the Lahnwanderweg. The Lahnwanderweg is officially divided into 19 stages. There's a stamp box hidden somewhere on each of these stages. Thanks to Komoot, it's no secret where on most of the stages. With this in mind, I set off for Rodheim-Bieber. The tenth stage officially begins there at the "Pfarrgasse" bus …

Because it was so nice yesterday, we did another quick "threesome" today. 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶
Not quite as much distance, but a hearty breakfast first. 😋
We started in the old town of Wetzlar. Old Goethe accompanied us safely out of the city.
At the Bismarck Tower, with the descent into the Lahnauen, it was time to say goodbye.
Now we unfortunately …
