The wider Limburg-Weilburg travel destination offers further points of interest for a range of interests. In Runkel, medieval history is combined with hiking and cycling routes. The castle was first mentioned in 1159 and still shapes the townscape today. The historic Lahn Bridge dates from 1448 and is one of the oldest bridges on the Lahn to have been preserved in its original condition.

Routes in Runkel can also be selected according to the activity you have in mind: the Lahn Hiking Trail and the permanent hiking trails “In the Steep Slopes of the Lahn” and “Through the Kerkerbach Valley” run there. For cycling, the Lahn Cycle Route and the Kerkerbach Valley Cycle Route are further options. The selection therefore includes both hiking and cycling routes, while the KI 3 in Hünfelden offers a distinct local hiking focus.

In Weilburg, art and technological heritage feature prominently among the various attractions. The Rosenhang Museum was established in the former August Helbig brewery and showcases contemporary art in changing exhibitions across around 2,000 square metres. Studios are also available for artists. The former brewery building, changing exhibitions and studios provide different reasons to visit the museum.

Another technical monument in Weilburg is the navigable ship tunnel. Built between 1844 and 1847, it is the oldest and longest navigable shipping tunnel in Germany. Together with the chamber lock at its lower entrance, it forms a unique technical monument. The Baroque residence also offers themed and costumed tours. Art, architectural history and guided tours thus provide a range of cultural highlights.

Limburg adds a historic townscape to the region’s cultural attractions: its half-timbered old town is one of the few undestroyed medieval town centres in Germany and has been exemplary restored. Limburg’s St George’s Cathedral stands atop a steep rock above the Lahn. With its seven towers, it is a cultural monument of European stature. The old town and the cathedral thus represent two distinct aspects of the townscape: the historic centre and a striking building above the river.

If your stay in Hünfelden is primarily focused on the KI 3 hiking trail, Hünfelden remains the right place to search.
