Description of the walks in Burgschwalbach

At the time of the Romans, the Aar-Höhenweg was the connection between the castles along the Roman wall "Limes".

The 63,5 km long Aar-Höhenweg leads from the source of the Aar in Taunusstein-Orlen through to where it flows into the Lahn in Diez.

Our Bistro-Dorfcafe in the middle of Burgschwalbach lies directly on the Aar-Höhenweg and invites you to take a rest in our bistro or on our terrace.
