Here you will have the opportunity to make a small detour and see the Mine Fortuna (additionally 8 km). The mine is now closed, but when open it used to extract iron ore in the form of hematite and limonite. It is now a Geo-information center in the national geo-parks of Westerwald–Lahn-Thaunus. The destination of your todays bike tour is the city of Weilburg. Dominating over the city stands the Weilburg Castle, today used as a museum.

• Day 5: Weilburg – Limburg (approx. 40 km)
  Today, River Lahn will lead you past many villages, winding its way through the landscapes of Hessen. You will have the advantage of biking on an asphalted path, gliding through the riverside with ease whilst enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of its surroundings. Your first stop is in Aumenau, a small and charming town welcoming you from the banks of River Lahn. Another opportunity for a break presents itself in Runkel, a town approx. 12 kilometres along the current from Aumenau. Here you can visit the ruin of the Runkel Castle originally from the 12th century. Waiting for you only a few more kilometers down the river is Limburg with your accommodation for tonight.
  Overnight stay in Limburg
• Day 6: Limburg – Bad Ems (approx. 36 – 47 km)
  Day six of your cycling holidays will take you away from all the traffic and into the untouched and pure nature of the River Lahn. More than other, the valley between Diez and Balduinstein is especially beautiful. See the hills by the riverbanks, seized by the vast forests, occasionally letting a rooftop or a chimney peek out through the crowns of their trees. A great place to take a break is in the town Obernhof. The local monastery Arnstein is a jewel on the river, looming over it as if it were its guard. A couple of kilometres further down the river you will have the possibility to visit the slightly younger Nassau Castle before you soon reach Bad Ems.
  Overnight stay in Bad Ems
• Day 7: Bad Ems – St. Goar – Koblenz (approx. 17 - 46 km)
  As you leave Bad Ems and bike along the river, the valley of the River Rhine will unfold itself before your eyes. If you wish to spend part of the day in Braubach, you will bike straight to your final destination. However, if you are up for another adventure, you can continue your bike tour to Braubach and cycle via Boppart and St. Goar to the legendary UNESCO world heritage of Loreley. This detour is approximately 29km long. To ease the difficulty and make the todays bike tour more enjoyable, you will be returning to Koblenz by ship.
