Hiking

Almost 21 kilometers full of beautiful panoramas, beautiful stream valleys and historic buildings await you on the "Iserbachschleife" Wäller tour. But don't let the tough distance put you off – you can cut corners along the way. But first let's start walking. You start in Anhausen, and you walk east and towards the Steinebachtal.

You walk along idyllic paths and past a small mountain hut straight up to the first highlight of the tour: in the middle of the forest, the church ruins of Hausenborn enchant with its mystical nature and ancient walls - a wonderful experience! Immediately afterwards you walk downhill again to the next valley: the Saynbachtal, which takes you to Isenburg. Once you arrive in the city, you can take a detour to the ruins – otherwise just walk along happily.

After a short climb to Ebenfeld, the so-called waterway takes you to the wild and romantic Iserbachtal. From the Thalhauser Mühle, idyllic small fishing ponds appear again and again along the way. By the way, the mill also marks the shorter (yellow) route back to Anhausen and is also ideal for a short break.

Once you arrive at the picturesque Veltens Weiher, it is not far. You walk slightly up through the Siehrsbachtal to Rüscheid. From the lookout pulpit you once again have a beautiful panorama. Then you walk quietly back to your starting point.

Ruins of the Hausenborn Pilgrimage Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Very beautiful ruin with thank you plaques, some of which are around 100 years old. Mostly to the Virgin Mary, from people who have received help in health or other emergencies.

Iserbach Valley Trail

Highlight • Trail

It just flows, gurgles and bubbles here. The eponymous stream leads you through the wild and romantic valley. Again and again you will come across smaller fish ponds.

The viewing platform is located on the Iserbach loop on the hill near Rüscheid. In good weather, the 375-meter-high mountain ridge offers a fantastic view.

The starting point of the "Wäller Tour Iserbachschleife" is in Anhausen, parking lot Auf dem Löh. From there it went past Meinborn with a great view into the Steinebachtal. On an …

Today, we completed the Wäller Tour - Iserbach Loop in the Ister Valley in perfect weather.

For us, it was a truly beautiful loop with several highlights and highly recommended.
Start at the signposted hiking car park or there are several parking spaces around the corner at the cemetery.

The great thing about this excellently marked "Iserbachschleife" route is that the tour organizers have really given them some thought. In addition to the sights, such as the church ruins in the middle of the forest and the half overgrown Isenburg and beautiful views of it later, there are always surprises on the route. I often thought: "Oh dear, I …

With part of my hut hiking group this year (this year we're going on a section of the Meraner Höhenweg) we had a training round today. At the same time, it was a reunion or getting to know each other.
It was beautiful and sweaty.

Hello fellow hikers
Today's itinerary included a Wäller tour.
For those who don't know, these are various hikes in the Westerwald.
I've done a few before, but that was before my Komoot days.
This hike had been on my list for a while, so I decided to do it today.
Since I'm a member of the species Homo "Early Birdus" …

Today in brief: The first third was super beautiful: trails, forest, stream, pilgrimage site, Isenburg Castle.
The second third was dirt roads through the stream valley, also nice in itself, but dragged on.
The last third was across fields, probably to show off the view from up there, but it didn't quite grab my attention.
I liked the first third, …

While looking for our Easter hike, which is as close as possible to Kaarst and Sulzbach, Volker came across this Wällertour. At first I thought "You already know that one, I want to see something new". But then I thought about it. And that was a good thing! I started from Anhausen twice and that was about 5 years ago. …

The start and finish is the Auf der Löh car park in Anhausen. At just under 22 km, the Iserbach loop is quite strenuous, but you could take a shortcut at the Thalhauser Mühle. Beautiful forest paths and trails, meadow paths with great views - this and much more make this tour one of my favorite hikes. Even though the …
