A famous summer guest and a majestic cathedral: A visit to Wetzlar—which Emperor Barbarossa elevated to the status of a free imperial city in 1180—offers a glimpse of history at every turn. In 1772, Goethe spent a fateful summer in the city while writing the original version of *Werther*. The homes of Charlotte Buff (Lottehaus) and Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem (Jerusalemhaus) can still be visited today. Wetzlar’s landmark is the imposing cathedral with its façade featuring elements from various architectural periods. On the hike, you’ll pass the keep on the Kalsmunt, a 12th-century Staufer castle. After that, the scenery becomes tranquil until the imposing backdrop of Braunfels Castle comes into view.

    Auf dieser Etappe erfährt man einige geschichtliche Eindrücke über Wetzlar und Umgebung. Der Weg ist gut begehbar und man kreuzt zusätzlich noch andere Wanderwege. Der Wald Richtung Oberndorf hat schöne Abschnitte und auf dem Weg dorthin liest man das ein oder andere Schild über die Gruben. Bei schönen Wetter kann man die klare Sicht auf den Feldberg genießen. Von Oberndorf kommend nach Braunfels hinauf, blickt man irgendwann auf das schöne Schloss. Die schöne Altstadt bietet genügend Möglichkeiten zum Einkehren.

    Von historischer Altstadt zu historischer Altstadt mit schöner Ruine und wunderschöne Natur. Es geht steil hoch zum Kalsmunt, der Ausblick über Wetzlar entschädigt aber auf jeden Fall. Weiter geht es über einen schönen Waldtrail zum Naturschutzgebiet. In Braunfels lädt der Marktplatz zu einem schönen Abschluss ein.

    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.
