We will start at the church in Rodheim-Bieber. Right at the beginning of this stage, people who could imagine themselves as ladies and lords of the castle will enjoy the detour to the castle ruins of Vetzberg and Gleiberg. According to an old legend, there is a secret passage between the two castles - but it is not marked with the Lahnwanderweg trail sign! Make sure to climb the towers of the castles Vetzberg and Gleiberg since both of them offer breathtaking panoramic views. Afterwards you will hike through the idyllic Wißmarbachtal before walking up into the forest. There, we will leave the Lahnwanderweg trail and stroll down to the stage finish in Lollar.
Alternative starting point in Gießen:
For a duration of 6.9 km, the access path from Gießen to the Lahnwanderweg trail leads across the Lahnauen to the turnoff in Krofdorf-Gleiberg. From there, the Lahnwanderweg trail runs to the tour’s destination in Lollar for 15.6 km.
*** Current note: Due to renovation works the tower of the castle ruin Vetzberg is not climbable at the moment! ***
The castle consists of the upper castle and the lower castle (refreshment stop) where many of the old details have been restored. Being on the main tower (keep) of the upper castle, which is approximately 30 m high, you can enjoy a beautiful view over the Gießen basin along the river Lahn to the Vogelsberg, the Westerwald and the Taunus. The Vetzberg castle that you have just been on can be seen again as well. Over fields and through the forest, the trail will guide you to Launsbach where another beautiful viewpoint with an information board is waiting.
The next highlight is the wild and romantic nature reserve Wißmarbachtal that is home to numerous rare plants. Through a reforestation area we will walk up into the mixed forest where the hiking trail is being left. Following the yellow Lahnwanderweg trail signs, you will walk to the stage destination in Lollar on comfortable ways. The small town offers historic houses and monuments such as the industrial castle "Villa Buderus" that was built in 1880. There are plenty of places to stay overnight and stop for refreshments.
