Lahn Valley

The Lahn Valley is one of Germany’s best-kept secrets. It is an area of outstanding beauty, with many ancient towns and castles, and very few foreign tourists. This is odd as it is Germany’s favorite waterway for canoeing and the valley and most towns can be reached within an hour by either car or train from Frankfurt.

Most of the towns here are worth a visit, particularly Marburg and Limburg, both with outstandingly well-preserved medieval town centers, though they are completely different in character.
