Weiltalweg

The Weiltalweg is a hiking and cycling route in the Upper Weiltal region of Hesse that connects multiple villages through varied terrain. It follows paths beside the River Weil, passing through woodlands and open meadows that shape the landscape.

The route was created through local community efforts to develop infrastructure and attract both walkers and cyclists to the region. It gradually became an important part of how Hesse promotes outdoor recreation.

The villages along the route have maintained their connection to the river and work together to protect the landscape for visitors to experience. You can see how local life has always revolved around the water and the surrounding countryside.

Multiple entry points allow access to different sections, with most starting points reachable by public transportation. Along the way you will find rest areas and local facilities in the villages for food and a break.

The route offers three different loop variations ranging from 6 to 17 kilometers, allowing visitors to choose their own distance based on fitness and time available. This flexibility makes it appealing to both newcomers and experienced hikers.
