Overnighter on the Lahn river cycle way

Back in Marburg again after 2 days on the Lahn cycle way.  I caught the train down to Wetzlar, cycled 33km to Weilburg, stayed in the Schloss Hotel (very nice), then cycled 35km to Limburg today where I caught the train back to Marburg.

The scenery is so different from the Upper Lahn river.  We are now getting into a lot more castles and churches and the towns of Weilburg and Limburg are just gorgeous with their narrow streets and crooked wooded houses.  It was really nice having the night in Weilburg as got a chance to have a wander around another town (and enjoy a fancy caramel ice cream).  The hotel I was in was hard up against the castle (Schloss) so I finished the day with a lovely chilled Reisling in the courtyard of the hotel looking up at the castle.  The section today stayed hard against the river so saw lots of camping grounds and people out canoeing in the river.
