The historic town of Wetzlar should be on your route for a day trip to the north-east of Langhecke. The old part of town is wonderful to wander round, as long as you don't mind cobbled streets and short, steep climbs!

Neighborhoods
In the middle of a forest, Langhecke has a long history of slate production, although there are hardly any signs of that left now. Some of the houses in the village formerly had an industrial function, like the one you see out of the window across the valley. We are just 3km from the river Lahn where you can walk or cycle beside or even canoe on the river. If you like sightseeing, attractive towns such as Kronberg, Limburg, Wetzlar, Bad Nauheim and Marburg are an easy drive away.

Sightseeing
The Hessenpark is well worth a visit - allow two or three hours, maybe more! It is a collection of faithfully rebuilt houses in various old-fashioned styles, but with the added attraction that they are used to demonstrate older, sometimes almost forgotten skills such as leatherwork, weaving, basketmaking, baking and ironwork. Who knows, it may just inspire your new hobby!
