Wittgert has many special features to offer: The region is known for its traditional craftsmanship, especially the production of ceramic goods. Another sight is the 17th century Wittgenstein Castle, which is now used as a hotel.

Cultural highlights can also be found near the village, such as the Marienstatt Monastery or the Stöffel Park Museum with its exhibitions on the region's industrial history.

For culinary connoisseurs, Wittgert offers a variety of regional specialities such as the famous Westerwald spit roast or hearty potato pancakes with apple sauce.

The best outdoor activities can be enjoyed here during the summer - hiking on the numerous hiking trails through the picturesque hills and valleys as well as cycling along the rivers Lahn and Sieg are particularly recommended. In winter, the snow-covered landscape invites you to go sledding or cross-country skiing on groomed trails around the village.

Even when it rains, there is plenty to do: A visit to the Montemare leisure pool promises fun for young and old!

The most beautiful spot is at the "Kalteiche" lookout point - from there you have a breathtaking view over Wittgert and the surrounding hills.

All in all, Wittgert is a destination that is definitely worth a trip. A travel guide for all nature lovers, culture enthusiasts or simply those seeking peace and quiet!

    Wir sind die Runde mit der Vespa gefahren und fanden es war ein sehr guter Mix. Einzig haben wir die Rheinseite nicht gewechselt, da sich das unseres Erachtens nicht lohnt. Auf jeden Fall 👍
