Aartal Cycle Path (Taunus)
The Aartalradweg is a 42 km long cycle and hiking path in the lower and middle Taunus , which runs almost entirely on the edge of the floodplain of the Aar creek and has a height difference of 291 m.
It leads from Diez an der Lahn (connection to the Lahntal cycle path ) via Hahnstätten , Aarbergen , Bad Schwalbach to Taunusstein- Hahn. The southernmost section was only opened in 2005 and is still heavily criticized today, as it leads up and down in large sections, such as at Burg-Hohenstein and Adolfseck . The section between the Hessian towns or districts Aarbergen-Michelbach and Heidenrod-Laufenselden is completely missing, because the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Reckenroth was not prepared to give up a farm road in its district due to the criticism of its hunting tenant . The hunting tenant had threatened to cut the hunting lease.
The Aarstraße , the Aartalbahn and the Aar-Höhenweg hiking trail run parallel to the Aartalradweg .
