Lahnwanderweg stage 19 Bad Ems - Mouth of Lahn

In Fachbach you walk uphill the old post road to a vantage point with a summit cross, that towers high above Fachbach and Nievern. Through the mixed forest, which is quite typical in the Lahn valley, you continue to the "Zwei Tannen Hütte". After leaving the forest, you are invited to enjoy an ingenious panoramic section with views of Lahnstein, Lahneck castle, the Allerheiligenbergkapelle and Stolzenfels Castle. The most comfortable way to enjoy this view is sitting or lying down on the wooden lounger in the shelter hut at the Mehrsberg. Close your eyes and hike the Lahnwanderweg trail in review once again!

At the Ruppertsklamm refuge the next signpost leads to the beginning of the exciting path through the gorge of the same name. The wild and romantic path will descend 150 meters downwards for the following 1.5 kilometers. The trail through the gorge is well secured and so you can enjoy the furious natural spectacle. From the lower entrance of the gorge you will soon walk contemplatively along the river and past the Wirtshaus an der Lahn. At the mouth of the Lahn, where the Lahn enters the Rhein, the magnificent long-distance hiking trail comes to a worthy finish with a view of Lahneck castle and Stolzenfels castle. The yellow marked access path guides you to the railway station of Niederlahnstein.
