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.

An exciting, very narrow path along the Lahn loop around Dietz. It's not flat, not smooth, with a few rocks and roots, but it's no problem with a mountain bike.
