Discover the High Westerwald

Circular walk in the Westerwald, taking in Greifenstein and the Steig.

Wäller Tour Greifenstein-Schleife and a section of the WesterwaldSteig.


“Hui! Wäller? Allemol!” On the Knoten stands the monument to Adolf Weiß, a poet and farmer rooted in his homeland, who coined this greeting. The Westerwald, a landscape with many faces, is explored on certified trails with plenty of highlights.


From Herborn, set at around 200 m in the Dill valley, to the Fuchskaute, at 657 m the highest point of the Westerwald, via the Knoten to Burg Greifenstein (photo), the region’s landmark visible from afar, and back to Herborn. Total length of the circular route approx. 70 km.


Stay in a **** hotel in Herborn – a small town with a high feel-good factor at the foot of the Westerwald: over 1000 years of town history, picturesque half-timbered houses, a lively atmosphere, a charming little town with a medieval centre.
