Cycle around the picturesque Lahntal

You like to enjoy the beauty of the Lahntal by bicycle on the 245km long Lahntalradweg (cycle trail), which starts at the spring and goes all the way to its mouth? But you don't want to deal with the hassle that is your luggage – carrying it along and have to watch it when you stop. Just jump on the bike after breakfast and off you go? No problem, profit from our more than 30 years of experience as a travel operator in the Lahntal – We transport your luggage from one place to the other, your accommodation is booked and you will receive a warm welcome at the hotel in the evening. All you have to do, is enjoy nature and the culture around you, everything else we will take care of as part of our complete service package. No matter if you travel by yourself or as a group, or if you want to spend a weekend or a whole week in the charming Lahntal. Before you get started, we will give you all the information you need, including maps and other travel tips, such as what to see and to visit on the way.

The Lahntalradweg is one of the 10 most popular cycle trails in Germany and was awarded 4 stars from the Allgemeinen Deutschen Fahrrad-Club (ADFC). Not only can we transport your luggage from Bad Lasphe all the way to Koblenz, we also can provide the bicycles. You have the choice between 7-speed touring bikes with hub gears and pedal brakes or modern electric bikes (e-bikes). Additionally, if you want we can organise a return transfer to the starting point of your tour. Please get in touch and we can chat about what is the cheapest, quickest and most comfortable way for you to get home.

The Lahntalbahn (train line), which runs parallel to the cycle trail all the way from the spring to the river mouth is a huge advantage for visitors and the region. You can travel comfortable by train to any location in the Lahntal. As an extra you can take your bicycle on the train free of charge! So if you need a little break or one stage of the tour becomes a bit to much, just jump on the train, which will take you to your next destination.
