Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The trail continues to the "Frauenkreuz" shelter, where you have the opportunity to rest when the ascent is done. The cross, once erected to observe the peace of God, reminds people to be at peace with themselves and with creation. Afterwards, the markings will lead you past the Königsstuhl and through the beautiful deciduous forest. Above Waldgirmes you will leave the forest and a fantastic view opens up over the Lahnhöhen. Even the stage destination Wetzlar can be seen.
The Haustädter Mühle welcomes you for a stop by. Afterwards you should definitely make a short detour to the site of the Römerforum. You can see the reconstructed Roman equestrian monument from far away. Here once, the oldest Roman town in Germania north of the Alps and east of the river Rhine was located.
Now you walk leisurely in the valley through the fields towards Naunheim. Across the Lahnbrücke you will reach the idyllic Lahn meadows where you can watch the gliders when the weather is good. We will accompany the Lahn for a while and then underpass the railway line and the route B49. In the village of Garbenheim the tour continues from "Am Eselsberg" uphill to the Garbenheimer Warte, whose medieval watchtower was converted into the Bismarckturm in 1901 (currently closed).
Turn left at the Lahnwanderweg trail signpost towards Wetzlar. Through the floral splendor of the park of the Ilmenau Anlage and feeling exhilarated you will walk down the Lottehaus and on to the Wetzlarer Dom. Now all that remains is to enjoy the picturesque old town of Wetzlar, the Goethe and optics city. His experiences in Wetzlar were the inspiration for Goethe's novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther".
