Information

The Lahn Marble Museum, which opened in 2005, has been located at Villmar railroad station in the immediate vicinity of the Unica quarry since 2016. It is also the geoinformation center of the Westerwald-Lahn-Taunus Geopark.

Its exhibition is dedicated to Lahn marble, as this quarry stone was an important economic factor for the region and was exported all over the world.

The museum consists of the following elements
- the museum building with a very vivid permanent exhibition and changing special exhibitions.
- the national geotope “Unica-Bruch” with its unique insight into a genuine Middle Devonian reef. The path from the museum to this site leads along a 380-metre-long “Earth History Trail” - a GeoRoute.
- the Lahn Marble Trail - a beautiful path in 2 laps through the village and the Villmar district - a GeoRoute.
- the Lahn Marble Route - a very varied cycle path along the Lahn through the region of the former more than 100 marble quarries from Wetzlar to Baldiunstein - a GeoRoute.
