Untamed landscapes on the Lahn In the face of the towering, whitewashed Grafenschloss and the half-timbered houses in the alleys of Diez's old town, one does not suspect the untamed landscape that our path holds. The valley of the Lahn becomes narrow, and the steep valley slopes reveal bare rock time and again. In the gorge of a narrow side valley, we discover Balduinstein with its mightiest fortress and soon peer almost 100 m vertically down from the Gabelstein.
One of the most popular hiking routes in Diez leads along the idyllic Lahn Valley. Here you can enjoy the beauty of nature on well-signposted hiking trails and visit historically significant sights at the same time. An absolute highlight of this route is the impressive Oranienstein Castle, which towers high above the Lahn River. From here you have a breathtaking view of the surrounding area and can enjoy the magnificent gardens.
Another recommended tour starts at the city park in Diez and leads through the adjacent forest to Arnstein Abbey. This former Cistercian monastery not only impresses with its architectural beauty, but also with its spiritual atmosphere. After a relaxing break in the monastery café, you continue along the Rheinsteig trail to Balduinstein Castle, where you can enjoy a fantastic view over the Lahn Valley.
These hikes are particularly suitable for families with children, as the trails are mostly easy to master and offer many interesting stops - be it a playground in the city park or exciting stories about the castles and monasteries.
