Weilburg railway station
Wetzlar railway station
Wegbeschreibung
If you dare to cycle an extra 6 kilometres on a quiet side road near Solms-Oberbiel, you should definitely visit the visitor mine Grube Fortuna. And, of course, plan some time for a guided tour. Altenberg Monastery is another tempting detour. From Solms-Oberbiel, you then roll comfortably along the Lahn and across the small river Dill to finally reach Wetzlar. The stage ends at the railway station.
However, if you are not yet familiar with Wetzlar, you should keep to the right at the Hospital Church and take a detour over the old Lahn bridge to the other side of the Lahn. This is where the heart of the city of Goethe and optics beats with its cathedral and picturesque old town. You will encounter Goethe at every turn and an optics trail bears witness to the importance of Wetzlar for the optics industry. This short stage still leaves plenty of time for an extensive tour of the town.
