German Timber-Frame Road - From the Westerwald via Lahntal and Taunus to the Main

This route takes you to the sites of history, residences of former principalities, important trading places, spa and festival locations. Discover our charming old towns with picturesque half-timbered houses, proud castles and fortresses, impressive churches, monasteries, and cathedrals.

Your journey leads along the northern foothills of the Hessian Westerwald. On the banks of the Dill River, we lead you to one of Germany's most romantic rivers – the Lahn. Following its course, you will experience the beautiful Middle Lahn Valley. The route continues through the Taunus to the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. Let yourself be captured by the charm of the beautiful half-timbered houses with Hessian-Franconian character. Each town will delight you with additional highlights beyond the timber framing.
