Driedorf has served as a local administrative centre in the Hessian Westerwald since the Middle Ages. The municipality occupies a high, wooded part of the Westerwald uplands in the Lahn-Dill district, close to the borders with Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. Krombachtalsperre, a reservoir near the town, adds open water and walking routes to a setting otherwise defined by fields and forest. Driedorf’s historic core is linked to the former Nassau administrative district known as Amt Driedorf, recalling the small territories that once shaped this borderland. It is now a useful base for unhurried outings across western Hesse. Explore nearby locations to gain a broader sense of Driedorf and the Hessian Westerwald.
