The Westerwald region
The Westerwald is now home to many small and medium-sized enterprises that operate both nationally and internationally. The region between the rivers Sieg, Rhein, Dill, Lahn and Heller has managed the transition to a modern commercial and industrial centre from originally being an agricultural and craft-based area. Nevertheless, crafts and traditions are upheld in the region. In a journey through the idyllic villages and towns one is confronted with words such as “Düppedrädsch”, “Stickl”, “Riwwesjer” or “Ärrgääß” as well as radio frequency products, centralized control units, bottom gusseted bag or spring clip.
Tourism plays an increasingly important role in the Westerwald region. Since 2008, the Westerwaldsteig attracts numerous hikers from near and far. But also sights such as castles, mines and caves lure local tourists in ever greater numbers. Due to the rural location the Westerwald, next to the Sauerland, is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts from the surrounding big cities such as Cologne and Dusseldorf.
