A highlight of the region is Irmtraut Castle from the 17th century. Today, the baroque building houses a museum with an impressive collection of artworks from different eras. The parish church of St. Johannes Baptist is also worth a visit: the late Gothic building dates back to the 14th century and impresses with its magnificent furnishings.

In addition to the historical sights, there are also numerous opportunities for leisure activities in nature: hike on one of the many hiking trails through the Westerwald or explore the surroundings by bike. In winter, ski resorts such as the Hohe Meißner area also entice you to take part in winter sports.

For culinary delights, traditional dishes such as Himmel un Ääd (mashed potatoes with apple compote) or spit roast from the grill - be sure to try the regional specialities!

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do in Irmtraut: Visit the indoor swimming pool or take a trip to nearby Limburg an der Lahn, where you will find numerous museums and galleries.

It is especially beautiful in Irmtraut in spring, when nature awakens and everything is green and in bloom. But also in summer the mild climate attracts many visitors. In autumn, the forests glow in bright colours - a real feast for the eyes! And if you like skiing or winter hiking, you should visit the Westerwaldkreis in winter.

All in all, Irmtraut is definitely worth a visit: the idyllic location, the numerous sights and activities as well as the culinary delights make this place a real insider's tip for anyone who wants to discover Germany off the beaten track. Our Travel Guide will help you get the most out of your stay - have fun discovering!

    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!

    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.

    Sehr schöner Weg. Sehr gute Beschilderung. Die Wiesenwege am Ende sind sehr schön zu laufen, entspannt die Beine, durch die gute Beschilderung auch leicht zu finden.

    Die Tour ist so weit ganz gut. Nur in Westerburg am Ortsende an Ende der Straße „unter der Hub“ muss man achtgeben, das man den richtigen linken Weg ins Gewerbegebiet „Wäller Park“ findet. Leider ist die GPS-Ortung an vielen Stellen schlecht, dadurch passen die Sprachanweisungen öfters nicht mehr mit der Karte. Am besten ausschalten😉
