Arrive in Solms — the Lahn town of the Fortuna mine and Altenberg abbey west of Wetzlar — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA). The 86 km route along the A5, A45 takes around 55min, and your FrankfurtRide chauffeur handles everything door-to-door, with the price agreed before you travel.
Solms joins five villages on the Lahn immediately west of Wetzlar in the Lahn-Dill district and is named after the counts of Solms, whose seat Braunfels castle stands on the ridge just to the south. The Grube Fortuna at Oberbiel, an iron-ore mine worked until 1983, is now a visitor mine where a pit railway takes guests 150 metres underground, and the same village holds Kloster Altenberg, the former Premonstratensian convent led in the thirteenth century by Gertrud, daughter of St Elizabeth of Thuringia. Metalworking and supplier firms for the Wetzlar optics and engineering cluster provide most local jobs. Wetzlar station is 5 km away and the Lahn valley railway runs through the town towards Limburg.
The Frankfurt Airport to Solms transfer follows the A5, A45 corridor with consistent journey times of around 55min. Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Solms — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.
