First New Route for the NST:

On the section between Dillenburg and Herborn, the NST previously followed the Dillhöhenweg (on the right side of the Dill River). Unfortunately, this route wasn’t ideal and didn’t really encourage hikers to make the detour to Herborn. The new route now leads hikers along the Lahn-Dill-Bergland Trail, which is much more enjoyable to walk and makes far more sense in terms of flow and scenery.
