Old Lahn Bridge, Diez

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice bridge with a great view of the castle.
!! Attention when driving over !! The white lines mark an edge that is easily overlooked in backlight or dusk. As a cyclist, you can quickly stumble here (own experience).

Between Diez, Limburg and Mensfelden, great cycle paths lead through the wide fields. The higher you get, the better the view of the Limburg Basin and the Westerwald.
