Lahnhöhenweg (Westerwald) Stage 2 From Dausenau to Balduinstein

The second stage on the Lahnhöhenweg (Westerwald side) leads from Dausenau over nearly 30 km and more than 1000 m of elevation gain to Balduinstein. The climb from the Lahn up to the heights, sometimes steep, sometimes moderate, must be overcome four times. Wonderful views of the Lahn valley open up along the way.

This beautiful circular route starts in Obernhof, the last wine-growing town on the Lahn. Surrounded by vineyards, in the middle of a green paradise, Obernhof alone is worth a hike due to its wonderful location. Magnificent panoramic views over the heights of Westerwald and Taunus. Great views into the Lahn valley. Quiet meadow landscapes on the heights, views of medieval castles.

Due to its length, frequent ascents and descents, and partly no longer used paths, this is a very demanding but, in my opinion, attractive circular hike from the Westerwald over the heights down to the Lahn.

Scenic hiking route on the Lahn Heights and Gelbach Heights. Large forests, but also many untouched meadows, floodplains, and fields, with repeated views of the two low mountain ranges Westerwald and Taunus.

Magnificent circular tour over the Lahn heights. Light to strenuous climbs are rewarded with magnificent panoramic views. On this tour, we hike through Obernhof, the last wine-growing village on the Lahn. Surrounded by vineyards, in the middle of a green paradise, Obernhof alone is worth a challenging hike just because of its beautiful location. Through splendid vineyards and up to the Goethe point with beautiful all-around views. Still wonderful long-distance views of the heights of Westerwald and Taunus, and to the east  you can see the towers of Schaumburg Castle near Balduinstein.

The hiking tour first takes you over the heights of Scheid and Holzappel before you then walk along a natural path high above the Gelbach. Along the way, you have partly beautiful views into the Gelbach valley. Later, on the height around Dörnberg, wonderful views into the Lahn valley.

Attractive hiking tour through the Schaumburg Forest, the beautiful wild valleys of Kiesbach and Schwarbach, many wonderful viewpoints, and the small town of Hirschberg, nestled between the Höchst (443m above sea level) and the Diez State Forest. Through the wild romantic Schwarbach Valley in the Langenscheid Forest and after a demanding climb, we reach the shelter hut above Geilnau on the Lahn. In the middle of the Cramberg bend, a beautiful Lahn loop, lies the town of Geilnau, idyllically nestled in the Lahn valley.
