Three-Day Canoe Tour from Gießen to Weilburg Follows Scenic Lahn River Route


A three-day canoe journey from Gießen to Weilburg is offering an accessible and scenic way to explore the Lahn River, with a route designed especially for beginners, families, and small groups. The tour begins near the second weir in Gießen, close to the main train station, with nearby parking providing convenient access for participants.


On the first day, paddlers travel approximately 14 kilometres to Wetzlar, navigating three boat slides and two self-service locks along the way. The historic town of Wetzlar provides an inviting stopover, with its old streets, riverside restaurants, and relaxed evening atmosphere ideal for unwinding after the day’s paddle.


The second stage continues another 14 kilometres to the Solms Schohleck campsite. This section includes three additional locks and scenic views of Braunfels Castle and surrounding wooded landscapes. The campsite itself offers a distinctive overnight experience, including optional tipi accommodation for those seeking something different.


The final day covers around 15 kilometres to Weilburg, passing through peaceful river sections, beech forests, and traditional villages. Highlights include Selters with its beer garden and historic half-timbered houses, before finishing at the Weilburg canoe station near the famous shipping tunnel. The tour concludes with flexible travel options, safety guidelines, and a balance of activity, nature, and cultural discovery along one of Germany’s most picturesque river valleys.
