Discover the region

Horhausen is particularly well known for its well-signposted hiking trails. The well-known Westerwaldsteig trail leads directly through the community and offers breathtaking views of the Siegtal valley. The Wiedweg as well as the Saynbach-Steig are also popular routes among hikers.

In addition to hiking, there are also cultural highlights to discover in Horhausen. The local history museum vividly illustrates the history of the region from the Stone Age to the present and Hachenburg Castle invites you to visit.

Another highlight is the culinary specialities of the Westerwald. Be sure to try the traditional Spundekäs or enjoy a hearty potato soup with bacon in the cosy inn surrounded by half-timbered houses.

For outdoor activities, there are various options depending on the season: In summer, you can go swimming at the nearby lake or take a canoe trip on the Sieg. In winter, the Hoher Westerwald skiing area entices you to go skiing and snowboarding.

Even if the weather is bad, you don't have to stay idle - why not visit the indoor swimming pool or relax in a sauna oasis.

But the most beautiful thing is still out in nature. A walk through Hachenburg Castle Park is particularly recommended, which has its charms in every season and delights with its many flowerbeds and old tree stands.

Horhausen in the Westerwald-Sieg is definitely worth a trip - whether for hiking, relaxing or enjoying regional specialities. With this travel guide, you are well equipped for your stay in this idyllic community!
