Schöne, nicht zu anspruchsvolle Tour mit Imbiss in der Dianaburg (wenn geöffnet ist, was an normalen Wochentagen meist nicht der Fall ist) . Leider sind manche Weg nur noch schlecht auffindbar, vor allem nach der Dianaburg bis zur Bieler Burg. Wer auch mal  gerne querfeldein läuft, für den ist das sicher interessant. Der Begriff "Burg" ist  für Leuner und Bieler Burg leicht übertrieben, denn ich habe keinen vom Menschen bearbeiteten Stein gefunden. Bis auf der Bieler Burg, da gibt es einen Markierungsstein. Ich habe die Tour in Leun begonnen, man kann aber auch bis zum Waldrand fahren, da ist ein Parkplatz.

Forecast for Leun

10-day forecast
One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Leun leads along the Lahn Valley Cycle Path. This path stretches over 245 kilometres and winds through breathtaking landscapes along the Lahn. The route begins in Marburg and ends in Koblenz, making it an ideal way to explore various places along the river.

For families with children, the "Burgensteig" around Leun is particularly suitable. This easy hike leads past historic castle ruins such as Greifenstein Castle or Braunfels Castle and gives young explorers an insight into times gone by. Along the way there are many rest areas with playgrounds as well as picnic facilities to make the excursion even more enjoyable.

Another highlight is the "Lahnhöhenweg", a more challenging hiking trail on the mountain ranges above Leun. From here you have a magnificent view of the Lahn valley and can enjoy the unspoilt nature. The trail is well marked and offers both steep climbs and leisurely sections for relaxing.

The best seasons for hiking in Leun are spring and autumn. In spring the meadows and fields are in bloom, while in autumn the leaves of the trees shine in the most beautiful colours. The temperatures are pleasantly mild and nature shines in all its glory.

Whether you want to take a relaxing hike along the Lahntal cycle path or embark on more challenging trails - Leun offers something to suit every taste. Pack your walking shoes and explore the beautiful countryside around this charming little town!

    Eine schöne "Feierabendrunde", nicht zu lang, aber dennoch durchaus ansprechend. Highlights der Runde sind natürlich der Welschenborn und die Dianaburg. Die Schotterwege im Wald waren in Ordnung, nach Waldarbeiten kann es an der einen oder anderen Stelle durchaus rumpelig werden. Empfehlenswert.

    Ein gut Ausgeschilderter Wanderweg. Nicht zu lange. Aber teil der strecke von den Waldarbeitern total zermatscht. Tiefe Furchen und schwer zu laufen. Ansonsten eine schöne Strecke. Auch mit Hund gut zu laufen. Leider keine Mülleimer vorhanden. Was ich nicht so toll fand.

    Schöne Rundtour durch eine waldreiche Gegend zwischen Lahn und Dill. Sehenswert zu jeder Jahreszeit ist die Leuner Burg. Den Startpunkt kann man an die Leuner Grillhütte verlegen, falls man nicht durch den Ort laufen möchte.

    Wir sind die Runde in etwas abgewandelter Form mit einigen Pausen gelaufen. Die abgewandelte Form daher, da tatsächlich einige Wege schwer oder gar nicht zu gehen bzw. zu finden sind, selbst mit GPS. Dennoch ist es eine schöne Strecke mit toller Landschaft und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Vorher einfach mit aktuellem Kartenmaterial abgleichen und entsprechend adaptieren.
