The Westerwald Touristik-Service has published a new, comprehensive brochure entitled "Etappenwandern im Westerwald - WesterwaldSteig, Druidensteig & Wiedweg". This new publication combines the previously separate brochures on the three popular and certified long-distance hiking trails for the first time and is symbolic of the close cooperation between the three districts of Altenkirchen, Neuwied and Westerwaldkreis.
Each day's stage is presented on a page containing a map, parking facilities, the route profile, places of interest and a QR code to Outdooractive. The tour planner also provides hikers with detailed information on places to stop for refreshments and overnight accommodation as well as other places of interest.
A total of 8,000 copies of this new brochure have been printed. It is available free of charge and can be ordered from tourist information offices in the Westerwald and from the Westerwald Tourist Service online at www.westerwald.info/tosc5/prospekte.
Another highlight is the extension of the Wiedweg by an additional stage, which was carried out in cooperation with the Westerwald-Verein e. V. (Westerwald Association). The starting point of the Wiedweg was moved from Linden to the site of the Westerwald brewery in Hachenburg. The new stage is 9.5 kilometers long, meaning that the Wiedweg now comprises a total of eight daily stages.
