Westernohe is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

In Westernohe itself is a big campground of the Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg (DPSG).

When the rope broke, only 20 seconds into the tug, two children were killed and 102 participants suffered injuries.

Bundesstraße 54, linking Limburg an der Lahn with Siegen, runs 3 km west of the community.

The nearest InterCityExpress stop is the railway station at Montabaur on the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line.
