Location description
Dietkirchen is located in direct connection to the highway A 3 Cologne-Frankfurt. From its junction, which is shown on the left in the map below, it is about 3 km eastwards via the K 473 and K 472 to the entrance to Dietkirchen.
Via the Limburg Nord highway exit, the B 49 to Gießen (approx. 60 km) and the B 54 to Siegen (approx. 70 km) can also be reached quickly.
The district road K 472 leads from Limburg through Dietkirchen to Dehrn, a district of the town of Runkel.
The ICE train station on the Cologne-Frankfurt line, located at the Limburg-South junction, further improves Limburg’s favourable transport position.
The village of Dietkirchen, which is only a short distance away from the central traffic arteries, thus offers both extremely favourable access routes and the tranquillity of a still relatively small, homogeneous village.
