The natural lay of the land in the Westerwald makes it a Mecca for hiking and walking enthusiasts. Gentle river valleys, wooded heights and rocky summits provide a diverse range of backdrops for hikers and walkers. There is something new and interesting to see around every corner. The numerous routes mean that all needs are

catered for. Those who prefer a gentle walk can choose from a wide range of shorter, level paths. Serious hikers will find tour options covering hundreds of kilometres of trails rising high above sea level. For the elderly there are panorama walks and for families there are paths offering adventure, exploration and entertainment.
The Westerwald has over 1,000 kilometres of paths through the lush, healthy green of a beautiful natural setting. "W" for Westerwald!
