Map of Haiger

background

Haiger is in the east Westerwald halfway between Wetzlar and Wins. Haiger and its districts mainly offer beautiful half-timbered town centers, but also nature and the impressive engineering structures of the Dill route, which crosses the border with North Rhine-Westphalia in a 2.5 km long tunnel.

The total of 14 districts of Haiger can be roughly divided:

  • Follow the Dill valley upwards Rodenbach, Fellerdilln, Dillbrecht and Offdilln.
  • In Rodenbach the Roßbach flows into the Dill. Follow upstream Niederroßbach, Oberroßbach and Weidelbach.
  • On the Treisbach, which flows into the Dill shortly before Rodenbach Haigerseelbach and Steinbach.
  • Located on the eponymous Haigerbach, between Haiger and the state border Allendorf.
  • If you follow the Aubach upstream from the town center of Haiger, you will reach Flammersbach and Langenaubach.
  • The last district, Six heroes, lies downstream of the Dill in the direction of Dillenburg.
