Cycling on the Lahntal

Today we took our bikes by train north of Marburg to the small town of Friedensdorf and then cycled back to Marburg criss-crossing both the Lahn river and the railway several times and passing through several very pretty small villages. This is one small section (30 km) of the popular Lahntal cycleway that goes from the headwaters of the Lahn all the way to where it meets the Rhine - a total distance of 245 km. There is a great feeling of freedom and open spaces riding on these cycleways through the fields of barley and canola and through the small villages. A beer in Marburg after this 2.5 h ride was well deserved.
