The river Lahn in Limburg

Limburg lies in western Hesse between the Taunus and the Westerwald on the river Lahn.

Owing to the favourable soil and climate, the Limburg Basin stands as one of Hesse ’ s richest agricultural regions and moreover, with its convenient Lahn crossing, it has been of great importance to transport since the Middle Ages.

Within the basin, the Lahn ’ s otherwise rather narrow lower valley broadens out noticeably, making Limburg ’ s mean elevation only 117 m above sea level.
