The Wäller Tour Iserbach Loop is quite challenging with its partly steep climbs and a length of 20.8 km. Therefore, a 3.2 km shortcut (yellow-marked) is offered between the Thalhauser Mill and Anhausen. This cross-connection allows the Iserbach Loop to be divided into two moderate partial stages.
Lovely stream valleys and historic buildings are the highlights of the varied hike on the southern partial stage.

Roadbook
Starting point of the "Wäller Tour Iserbach Loop - Hiking in the Rhine-Westerwald Nature Park" and thus also of the South Loop is Anhausen, parking lot Auf dem Löh. From there, the route goes counterclockwise past Meinborn - here we enjoy a great panoramic view - into the Steinebachtal. We hike on an enchanted path along the babbling brook and turn right at the shelter "Am Steinbruch" towards the Hausenborn church ruin. Now we follow the path down into the Saynbachtal to Isenburg. Afterwards, it goes quite steeply uphill again. A detour to the Isenburg castle ruins and also a visit to the parish church "St. Katharina" are worthwhile.
Via the "Water Path" with two wonderful viewpoints overlooking Isenburg, we reach the Iserbachtal and cross the K 113 and the Iserbach on the way to the Thalhauser Mill.
Back to Anhausen, the route takes the yellow-marked shortcut of the Iserbach Loop. First along the Burbach, it soon goes uphill to a forest clearing with a bench inviting you to rest and relax. Continuing through the Reilbachtal, we pass Meinborn - please turn around once more here, the view is worth it - to Anhausen and the starting point of our hike.
Gastronomy
There are, of course, places to eat along the route as well. Among others, in Anhausen the Gasthof Tross, in Isenburg the Fischerhütte Meißel and the Hotel-Restaurant Haus Maria (both located a bit off the Iserbach Loop), and 3 km before the end of the hike is the Thalhauser Mill.
