From a trip into long past times at the landscape museum, through the stroll in the city of the double-tailed lion, it goes to the Cistercians at Marienstatt.
One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Limbach leads along the Limes hiking trail. This historic trail follows the course of the former Roman border wall and offers not only breathtaking views of the surroundings, but also interesting insights into the history of the region. The route stretches over several kilometres and can be adapted as desired.
The hike to the "Hohe Lay" vantage point is also particularly recommended. From here you have an impressive panoramic view over the entire Lahn Valley as well as the neighbouring Westerwald. This tour is suitable for both experienced hikers and families with children, as it is relatively easy to manage.
Another highlight are the numerous premium hiking trails around Limbach. The "Wällerroute", for example, leads through idyllic forests and past small streams to the well-known Greifenstein Castle. Here visitors can not only experience an exciting guided tour through the medieval walls, but also enjoy the magnificent view from the castle tower platform.
The best seasons for hiking in Limbach are spring and autumn. During this time, the landscape shines in the most beautiful colours and the mild climate invites you to go hiking. In summer, on the other hand, it can get quite hot, which is why hikes are best undertaken early in the morning or in the evening.
