Lahnwanderweg stage 09 upstream Rodheim-Bieber - Lollar

Zentrum → Ortsmitte

We start in Rodheim-Bieber at the church. Right at the beginning of the stage, damsels and lords of the castle fully enjoy the detours to the castle ruins Vetzberg and Gleiberg. According to an old legend, there is supposed to be a secret passage between the two castles but beware, it is not marked with the Lahnwanderweg logo. Make sure to climb the towers of the castles Vetzberg and Gleiberg! Both offer breathtaking views. Afterwards, we hike through the idyllic Wi24marbachtal before going up into the mixed forest. Here we leave the Lahnwanderweg and stroll down to the stage destination in Lollar.
