Cheap flights to Westerwald

Vast forests, hilly landscapes and a rich ceramics tradition: the Westerwald is an undiscovered gem in the heart of Germany. With flights to the Westerwald, you'll discover a region where nature, history and artisanal traditions come together.

The Westerwald Region

The Westerwald is a low mountain range in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. The name means 'Forest in the West' and that's exactly what you'll find here: endless green forests, quiet valleys and picturesque villages where time seems to have stood still.

The Westerwald is known for its ceramics tradition. The town of Höhr-Grenzhausen is the centre of German ceramics production, with a famous ceramics museum and numerous ateliers where you can watch craftsmen at work. The typical blue-grey Steinzeug (stoneware) has been made here for centuries.

The Malberg near Hachenburg and the Fuchskaute (657 m), the highest peak of the Westerwald, offer beautiful walking routes through dense forests. The Westerwald-Steig, an award-winning hiking trail of 235 kilometres, leads past the most beautiful spots in the region.

Hachenburg is one of the most beautiful small towns in the region, with a magnificent Baroque castle and a cosy old town centre. The Hachenburger Schlossbrauerei has been brewing delicious local beer for centuries — a must-try!

The Westerwald also has a rich history. The Dreiherrenstein, a boundary stone where three lordships met, tells the story of the medieval power struggle in the region. In Limburg an der Lahn, you'll find a beautiful cathedral and a charming old town centre. Book your flights to the Westerwald at CheapTickets.nl!
