Bismarck Tower, Wetzlar

Highlight • Monument

It doesn't matter whether it's a 3-tower hike or just through and around Wetzlar: it's a must to stop by here. It's a steep climb, but the view is great.

Beautiful bush and meadow trails with a wide view of Wetzlar and the Lahn Valley around the Brühlsbacher Warte (pencil tower). Status March 2022: Dry trails, windbreak below the pencil tower with large trees and branches above the trail.

Great view over Wetzlar and the surrounding area. From the east, the Stoppelberg can be reached via a gravel road. There are some single trails for great runs.

Iron Market, Wetzlar

Highlight • Historical Site

There are also many small restaurants and cafés at the Eisenmarkt in Wetzlar that invite you to linger. When the weather is nice you can sit outside and enjoy the historic facades of the half-timbered houses.
