The listed Lahn weir in Runkel was used to supply water to the Runkel town mill. It runs through the river from the mill towards the southeast for a length of around 90 meters and ends at the lock island. The weir has probably existed since the Runkel town mill was founded, and thus since the 13th century at the latest. And in 1808/09 the first Lahn lock was built in Runkel.

Lahn Cycle Path – Paved Section by the Lock

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In this section the surface is acceptable for road bikes, which is not the case everywhere on the Lahn Cycle Path. No cars, but lots of cyclists and pedestrians. Be careful in the villages, as the paddlers' landing stages are sometimes very busy.
