Waldsolms: Golf and Hiking Trails
Accommodation in Waldsolms
Hiking and Golf in Waldsolms
Attighof Golf Course and signposted hiking trails give Waldsolms two distinct leisure highlights. The golf course is a recreational highlight of the town; the Schmetterlingsweg circular trail runs through Waldsolms’s municipal area. When planning your holiday, you can decide whether golf or the trails in the surrounding area should be a bigger part of your plans. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Waldsolms, you can take this focus into account when choosing where to stay.
The Schmetterlingsweg is a signposted circular trail. Sections of the Huguenot and Waldensian Trail, a long-distance hiking route, also pass through Waldsolms. These are different types of routes: one is a designated circular trail, while the other is part of a longer route. The Wanderbares Waldsolms hiking brochure features 24 tours through the municipality and its surroundings. This gives you a choice of a specific circular walk, sections of a long-distance trail and a broader selection of tours when planning your trip.
For a family holiday, it can also help to decide on your preferred focus first: should your stay centre mainly on hiking trails and Attighof Golf Course, or are you also interested in museums, a castle or a cave in the Lahn-Dill district? Choose the sights you would like to visit and compare them with the location of your holiday apartment.
