From its source in North Rhine-Westphalia, the tranquil Lahn covers a distance of 245 kilometers before finally flowing into the Rhine in Lahnstein near Koblenz. Naturally, we recommend a trip from Koblenz to the beautiful Lahn Valley. You can bathe in the healing waters in Bad Ems, go canoeing on the river or explore the numerous hiking trails. Germany's most beautiful spots can also be found in the Lahntal!
