WEILBURG is the town with the undisentangleable enchantment, that this remote residence in the center between Taunus and Westerwald Mountains and along the LAHN riverside between Wetzlar and Coblence seems to be part of an worldwide performance of the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland at the same time
Voyagers might reach the wonderful residence town with innumerable unique and odd characters like the world´s only continental ship tunnel by two main transport lines: the historic and most beautiful LAHNTALBAHN railway line through the Lahn valley surrounded by pictoresque small towns and an farreaching untouched and intact nature ....
... and the long-distance bicycle trails through the WEILTAL (Weil Valley) or along the proper Lahn River that lead to the old capital of the historic European HERZOGTUM NASSAU (Nassau County)
During the stage at WEILBURG the visitors will find countless sites for always new, surprising and unforgettable views on the residence town, the Lahn Valley´s forests, steep slopes and rocks or the inspiring cultural, artistic and social life of that unique german historic site
Most prominent itself is the Weilburg Palace and Palace Garden that doubtless deserves to be described as secret meeting place for Fairies, Elves and Trolls which might be overseen by hurrying visitors that don´t take themselves their time to discover these enchanted beings between tourists and town inhabitants
The Weilburg Palace courts, church and gardens are the performance sites for the famous annual classical music summer concerts with participation of international leading orchestra and soloists. The fame and success of the "Weilburger Schlosskonzerte" motivates also an always growing number of young local music students to advance their carreer as musicians educated and guided by the "Weilburger Jugendmusikschule"
Around the traditional Summer Music Festivals the town of Weilburg is on it´s way towards a regional artistic and cultural capital. Besides dozens of permanent expositions in museums, galeries, special exposition sites, public spaces and the palace itself the 2012 Summer of Streets of Art promotes in galeries, cafeterias, shops as well as in private and comercial exposition sites the artworks of the greater Weilburg artist colony including the first productions of the towns schools students ...
The magic of the hundreds or maybe thousands of exposed paintings, photographies, sculptures and installations in collective and individual expositions sites recombines through the shop and gallery windows with the reflections of the medieval historic town architecture and creates by that way an spontaneic and always varying artistic impression that accompanies the passing by through the old towns center
