AHRound Tour (II): Explore Picturesque Villages on a Short Loop

Description

Starting and ending in Hahn am See, your village with around 400 residents sits along the historically significant Bundesstraße 8, exactly between Selters and Dornburg as well as Wirges and Westerburg. Hahn captivates with a well-established fountain column from 1870, a more than 100-year-old lime tree, and a small church from the 18th century.

The route takes you through picturesque villages and the nature of the Westerwald. Noteworthy are the half-timbered houses and ancient chapels. The small chapel in Eisen, a district of Meudt, is particularly charming. Some of these villages date back over 1,000 years. The town hall in Meudt, built in the late 16th century, is the oldest of its kind in the Westerwald.
