Cycling map Lahntal Cycle Route – Velociped bike holidays

From the source to the mouth of the Rhine

One of Germany's most beautiful cycling regions lies between Westerwald and Taunus. Along the Lahn, literally every kilometre of cycle path is a treat for body and soul. On well-developed routes directly along the river, you can enjoy peace and seclusion that will allow you to breathe deeply. Magnificent architecture, such as Arnstein Monastery or the Renaissance castle in Weilburg, lines your route. In between, there are picturesque river meadows, dreamy villages and countless inns that welcome you with open arms.
On your cycling tour along the Lahn Cycle Route, be sure to visit the Goethe town of Wetzlar with the Lottehaus and the disused iron ore mine Grube Fortuna. Experience the lively university town of Marburg and crown your cycle tour with a trip to the Loreley near St. Goar. You will see: between the source of the Lahn near Netphen and its confluence with the Rhine near Koblenz, there are dozens of places worth visiting – from Biedenkopf to Giessen and Limburg to Nassau, Bad Ems and Boppard.

Report from the sustainability team

A lot has happened because sustainability is close to our hearts: we have immersed ourselves in the certification process, reviewed and changed office procedures, diligently collected information from our partners, and worked on new projects. In short, we are in the middle of an exciting journey that challenges us every day—and inspires us. Find out how these changes feel, what progress we have already made, and why the journey is just as important to us as the destination.

Team event Trip to the Dammühle

Every year, shortly before the start of the season, we cyclists get itchy feet. We want to test our new bikes and get in the mood for the season with a small team event. So this April, we'll be getting on our bikes and cycling a short route around Marburg.

Introducing the Velociped team

Of course, there are a lot of interesting people and stories behind Velociped. We enjoy working as a team, taking lunch breaks together and celebrating together from time to time, and dogs are also allowed in our office. Sounds fantastic? It is! So that you can get to know us even better, we'll tell you a little about our areas of responsibility and also a little about our private hobbies. Hobby number one is, of course, cycling.

travel report Lahn: Classic from Marburg

The question of where to go on this year's information trip marked the start of planning for the time when we get to swap the office chair for the bicycle saddle and experience one of our many cycle tours ourselves. Since it is only my second year in Marburg, I decide to discover the river that flows on my doorstep. In September, my mother and I set off on the classic route along the Lahn from Marburg.
