Here the water flows over moss-covered stones in several stages, forming a series of beautiful, natural cascades depending on the water level.

Along the way, you will repeatedly find artistic installations and sculptures that are harmoniously integrated into the landscape and enrich the hiking trail with a cultural component.

Runkel is a highlight for any bike tour. The beautiful old bridge over the Lahn River, Runkel Castle, the Lahn Island, and, from what I hear, one of the best ice cream parlors in the area, right below the castle. All right here in this one spot.

Although you can only see the mill from the outside, an information board also shows some photos of the inside. A small stream flows through the building, and much of the mill's interior is still preserved.
