Waldsolms offers several options for planning your trip: the Attighof golf course and a range of hiking opportunities. The golf course is located in Waldsolms and is one of the municipality’s leisure highlights. Hiking options range from a signposted circular trail and a brochure with 24 tours to sections of a long-distance hiking trail in the Waldsolms area.
Golf and hiking in Waldsolms
The signposted Schmetterlingsweg circular trail leads through the Waldsolms municipal area. This makes it a clearly named circular trail and a hiking option in its own right, alongside the golf course. If you prefer circular trails when hiking, you can use this route type as your first planning filter.
The “Wanderbares Waldsolms” brochure features 24 tours through the municipality and its surrounding area. It therefore brings together a wider selection than the single named circular trail. If you would like to use the brochure to plan your tours, check in advance whether it is currently available.
Sections of the Huguenot and Waldensian Trail run through the Waldsolms area. As a long-distance hiking trail, it belongs to a different route category from the Schmetterlingsweg. These three hiking options serve different planning purposes: a signposted circular trail, a selection of 24 tours through the municipality and its surrounding area, and sections of a long-distance hiking trail in the Waldsolms area. You can therefore first choose the type of hike you want and then plan the specific route.
If you are looking for hotels in Waldsolms, your trip’s main focus can help you narrow down your options: golf, a single circular hike, or a wider selection of tours. The brochure also covers the area surrounding the municipality, so bear this in mind when choosing tours for your stay.
Culture and nature in the wider Lahn-Dill district destination
The wider Lahn-Dill district destination offers further cultural and nature-related attractions. The Lottehaus in Wetzlar recalls Goethe’s encounter with Charlotte Buff and the summer of 1772. Two rooms on the first floor house a permanent exhibition on the creation and impact of Goethe’s first novel, “The Sorrows of Young Werther.” The Optikparcours in Wetzlar offers a different experience, inviting visitors to experiment with and discover optical phenomena; these include a walk-in kaleidoscope. A literary-historical attraction and optical discoveries thus offer different themes to consider when planning your trip. The Villa Grün in Dillenburg has an elaborate, media-rich mining exhibition in its basement.
For nature underground, visit the Herbstlabyrinth-Adventhöhlensystem cave system in Breitscheid. It is the largest cave system in Hesse and one of the most significant cave systems in Germany. On weekdays and during school holidays, you can reach the Herbstlabyrinth show cave on RMV bus route 510, getting off at the Breitscheid, Rathaus stop. From there, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk to the cave. Check the timetable before your visit.
