Discover the Westerwald – Nature, Relaxation and Culinary Delights
The Westerwald, located between the Rhine, Sieg, and Lahn rivers, is a versatile low mountain range that combines peace, natural experiences, and culinary discoveries. Rolling hills, dense forests, and charming half-timbered villages make the region an ideal destination for those looking to escape daily life and enjoy a slower, more mindful pace. Whether a short getaway, a hiking holiday, or a romantic weekend, the Westerwald offers something for every taste.
Experience Nature on Well-Marked Hiking Trails
Hiking enthusiasts will find plenty to explore in the Westerwald. The Westerwaldsteig, a 235-kilometer premium hiking trail, winds through diverse landscapes, past valleys, rivers, meadows, and forests. For those preferring shorter routes, day trips on paths such as the Limburger Knotenpfad or the Lahntalweg are ideal. Cyclists can enjoy the well-developed bike paths along the Sieg, Lahn, and Wied rivers. Families will love the many nature trails, such as the Bad Marienberg Wildlife Park or the Celtic Trail in Altenkirchen, offering playful insights into the region’s flora, fauna, and history.
Culinary Highlights with Regional Character
Westerwald cuisine is hearty, honest, and seasonal. Typical specialties such as Döppekooche (potato casserole), Wäller ham, and game dishes from local forests reflect the region’s culinary traditions. Many hotels, especially those with a Slow-Food focus, use high-quality local products: freshly baked farmhouse bread, trout from clear streams, regional cheeses, and honey from the Westerwald’s orchards. Candle-light dinners featuring local specialties are particularly recommended – here, guests can savor the regional flavors and experience the local culinary diversity firsthand.

Historic towns such as Hachenburg, with its charming market square, Marienberg Castle in Mörsbach, and idyllic half-timbered villages invite leisurely walks and great photo opportunities. Nature lovers should explore the Wäller Seenplatte, a hidden paradise of lakes and natural shorelines. Those interested in local products can visit the weekly markets in Montabaur or Limburg, offering everything from cheese and sausages to fresh fruits, vegetables, and handmade crafts.
