Discover the region

Geographically, Gemünden lies between the Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. The surrounding area offers numerous hiking trails through forests, fields and valleys as well as lakes for swimming or fishing. Cycling along the Lahntal cycle path is also very popular here.

A highlight for culture enthusiasts is the historic old town with its half-timbered houses from the 16th century. There is also the "Alte Schule" museum here, which provides information about the history of the town.

Every year, various events take place in Gemünden, such as the traditional folk festival in summer or the Christmas market in winter. For gourmets, a visit to the regional farmers' markets is worthwhile, where you can sample local produce.

There is also plenty to do in bad weather: There is an indoor climbing wall nearby as well as thermal baths for relaxation.

For nature lovers, we recommend an excursion to the nearby Nassau Nature Park or the Westerwald Wildlife and Leisure Park. In winter, skiing and tobogganing on the surrounding mountains are great options.

For those looking for peace and quiet, the best place to find it is on the banks of the River Lahn or on the surrounding hills, which offer breathtaking views.

Gemünden is a destination that is definitely worth a visit. With this Travel Guide, you have all the information and tips for your stay at your fingertips!

    Schöne Tour! 2 Anmerkungen: Im Bereich der Klosterruine Seligenstadt sollte man diese südlich umrunden - der Blick auf Ruine und Weiher ist besser als auf der Nordseite. Die angegebene Zeit von 3 h ist was für Trailrunner. Da es viel zu fotografieren gibt und der Track im Bereich des Bölgensteins weglos bzw. auf zugewachsenen Trampelpfaden verläuft sollte man gute 4 h einplanen - plus Pausen...

    Wir sind die Tour an einem wunderschönen Sommertag gegangen. Sie ist total abwechslungsreich, optimal ausgeschildert und sehr gut zu gehen. Unterwegs wunderbare Aussichtspunkte, gepflegte Picknickplätze und der Abschnitt an der Holzbachschlucht ist einmalig. Wir sind begeistert!

    Toller Rundweg in Irmtraut an der Kirche gestartet. Tolle Infotafeln, super ausgezeichnet und viele Rastmöglichkeiten. Tolle Ausblicke und die Holzbachschlucht ist echt ein Highlight.

    Heel mooie route, met e-bike prima te doen. Klein stukje was afgesloten, maar daar hebben we de fiets over de takken getild die op het pad lagen.

    Wir wandern dieses Jahr den Westerwaldsteig – mit Kind und, vielleicht etwas ungewöhnlich, mit Bollerwagen 😊. Das Ganze nehmen wir auch auf Video auf. Wer uns auf unserem Abenteuer begleiten möchte, ist herzlich eingeladen, unser Video zu dieser Etappe anzuschauen: https://youtu.be/hMmClAAVb2w

    Der Zugang zur Schlucht auf dem geplanten Weg war wegen Baumfällarbeiten gesperrt. Wir hatten deshalb den Weg auf der anderen Seite des Holzbachs gewählt. Am Irmtrauter Kreuz sind wir direkt zum Hessenblick gelaufen und hatten ca. 10 km Wegstrecke. Die Tour hatte uns gut gefallen, sehr abwechslungsreiche, das Highlight war die Holzbachschlucht.

    Schöner, gut beschildeter Rundwanderweg. Wir haben diesen heute bewandert. Ganz toll war die Holzbachschlucht mit tollen Aussichtspunkten. Leider waren zwischen Seck und Irmtraut die Wege nicht gemäht und gingen durch hohes Gras. Zudem waren in diesem Bereich die angrenzenden Wiesen inklusive des Wanderwegs über einige Kilometer mit übelriechender "Gülle" bzw. Mist "gedüngt worden, was etwas unschön war und an den Schuhen und Socken einen "bleibenden Eindruck" hinterließ.
