    Wir sind die Tour im August 2020 in entgegengesetzte Richtung mit einem Tandem (Hase Pino) gefahren. Die Strecke am Main, Rhein und der Lahn sind sehr schön, auch wenn der Radweg an der Lahn oft nicht direkt am Fluss entlangführt. Zwischen Wetzlar und Frankfurt hat uns die Streckenführung nicht gefallen, da sie teilweise viel befahrenen Landstraßen nutzt. Zwischen Harheim und Okarben kann man beispielsweise auf dem Niddaradweg fahren. Die starke Steigung zwischen Geilnau und Laurenburg kann man illegal, aber gut machbar umfahren. Dazu einfach die Hinweisschilder ignorieren und direkt neben der Lahn fahren. Ein Hangrutsch war nicht ersichtlich und die Strecke war durchgängig mit dem Tandem befahrbar (teilweise Singletrail). Am Rhein lohnen sich Abstecher in die mittelalterlichen Dörfer. Die meisten Wege sind asphaltiert oder zumindest gut geschottert,
