Hard to believe: On the Runkler Schleuseninsel - it is located between the lock and the Lahn - you can go swimming in front of a great backdrop. Or you just take a seat on the meadow, sunbathe a little and have a good time. On the summer weekends, the bathing island is even looked after by the DLRG.
