The route begins in Haiger and runs mainly on paved paths through the Dill valley to the Goethe city of Wetzlar on the Lahn. The first stage destination is Dillenburg, where the Wilhelm Tower stands as a symbol above the city and the old town invites you to stroll. It then continues downstream into the lively half-timbered town of Herborn with its picturesque pedestrian zone. Soon after Herborn, the mighty ruins of Greifenstein Castle appear on a height. The cycle path then winds through small towns towards the Lahn.
