Lahntal - Radweg #2▶🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️ Marburg - Gießen - Wetzlar [RADREISE - RADTOUR DOKU] 

On the second day it goes to Kernbach, Caldern, Sterzhausen, Großfelden, Sarnau and Göttingen, which belong to the municipality of Lahntal, and on Marburg.
The city of Marburg can largely be passed directly along the Lahn, below the B3. In addition to the Landgrafenschloss, the Elisabethkirche is the most famous sight of Marburg.
It continues through the wide Marburg-Gießener Lahn valley. Small towns such as Sicherheitshausen, Odenhausen, Ruttershausen and Lollar line the path.
After the gravel quarrying ended, a number of dredging lakes were created here, which are now used as bathing lakes, so the Niederweimarer See with a surfing facility and the Wißmarer See with a nice campsite right on the lake.
The Lahn window is located in Gießen in the water information center. You can look under water through large glass panes and observe fish with a little patience.
Direction Wetzlar we drive through the Gleiberger country. These include the communities Wettenberg, Biebertal, Heuchelheim and Lahnau.
The old Lahnbridge of Wetzlar is one of the oldest surviving bridges in Hessen.
At the old Lahnbridge, the former suburb of Wetzlar, there is the bright yellow hospitalchurch.
The center of the old town is the Wetzlar Cathedral. The various exterior facades make the church seem unfinished and testify to a very long construction period. Financial difficulties burdened the city in the Middle Ages, so that church building made slow progress.
From the late Romanesque to the Baroque, every epoch of German church architecture left its mark on the Wetzlar cathedral.
The famous poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe spent an internship during his law studies at the imperial chamber court in Wetzlar. He met Charlotte Buff and fell in love with her. His love for Charlotte should remain hopeless, however, because it was already promised to the 11-year-old Kestner.
As the second literary memorial, the "Jerusalem House" is the counterpart to the "Lotte House".
Like Goethe, his friend Jerusalem came to Wetzlar for legal training. He too had fallen in love with a married woman, so he committed suicide in his apartment.
Goethe processed in the novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther" his unfulfilled love for Charlotte and the suicide of his friend Jerusalem.
