Discover the region

The geographical location of Herschbach is unique - surrounded by green hills and forests, it offers a quiet and picturesque setting. The town itself has a historic charm with old half-timbered houses and narrow streets that invite you to stroll.

If you are looking for sights, then you should definitely visit Montabaur Castle. It was built in the 17th century and today houses a college as well as a hotel. Another highlight of the region are the numerous hiking trails through the forest or along the river Wied.

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the "Alte Schmiede" cultural centre. Concerts, exhibitions and theatre performances are held here regularly.

From a culinary point of view, there are some delicacies to discover in Herschbach such as traditional dishes from the Westerwald like potato soup or beef stew with dumplings. You should also try the local beer!

Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to many activities: hiking, cycling or fishing are just a few possibilities. In winter you can even go skiing! The best season for outdoor activities is spring to autumn.

And what do you do in Herschbach when it rains? Then we recommend a visit to the indoor swimming pool or the museum "Alte Mühle".

Where is the most beautiful place in Herschbach? That's hard to say, as each place has its own charm. But a walk along the Wied and through the forest certainly offers an unforgettable nature experience.

Overall, Herschbach is definitely worth a trip - whether as a day trip or for a longer stay. This Travel Guide is designed to help you get the most out of your visit!

    Na ja...an der Landschaft kann ich nix machen und wie diese empfunden wird...ABER am Track kann ich was machen! Ich habe mir eben die Tour noch einmal angeschaut und es stimmt da sind Unregelmäßigkeiten. Ich habe jetzt auch herausgefunden woran es liegt. Leider ist mir beim verschieben von Punkten im Track die "Auto Routing Funktion" in die Quere gekommen die beim verschieben eines Trackpunktes automatisch neu routed und plant und das ist dann leider passiert und mir nicht aufgefallen. Ich habe den track jetzt korrigiert und werde ihn am nächsten Wochenende auch noch einmal abfahren...um sicher zu stellen das die Route befahrbar ist....am Schotter bei den Windrädern kann ich leider auch nix machen...aber so schlimm ist es nun auch wieder nicht und auch ohne MTB befahrbar. Danke für die konstruktive Kritik - denn nur so kann man etwas verbessern!
