The historic Runkler stone bridge from 1448 is one of the oldest bridges on the Lahn! With the Runkler castle and old town in the background, it is an absolute eye-catcher 👍 https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-267710

The picturesque old town and the historic market square with the richly decorated half-timbered houses invite you to linger. Braunfels with its historic city center was first mentioned in Anno Domini 1246 as “Castellum Bruninfels”. The history of the place is closely linked to the history of the castle and the counts of Solms-Braunfels. Some of the half-timbered houses on the flower-decorated market square and at the entrance to the old town offer comfortable overnight accommodation. Here the guest can touch the past. The entrance to the old town and the market square are the backdrop for all kinds of market activity. The exceptionally beautiful and lovingly maintained old town with its small shops is worth a visit at any time of the year.

After a fire in 1678, the market square was rebuilt. Today there is the tourist information, gastronomy and small shops with a wide range of different goods.

The Runkel Lahn Bridge is a bridge built in 1448 over the Lahn in Runkel in the Limburg-Weilburg district of Hesse. Above the bridge is Runkel Castle, and Schadeck Castle is also close to the bridge. The bridge has only had local traffic significance since a new bridge was built downstream from the Lahn in 1978. The Lahn Bridge has four segment arches. The clear width of the arches, viewed from the right in the picture, is 13.80 meters, 15.51 meters, 15.91 meters and 14.69 meters. The pillar width is 5.65 meters for the right, 4.53 meters for the middle and 4.56 meters for the left pillar. A weir runs under the third arch.

Runkel is a great medieval photo motif: old bridge, castle and half-timbered houses...

From the eastern side of the Lahn bridge one has a picture book view of the Bug Runkel. But watch out, the old bridge is narrow - drivers and tourists taking photos sometimes get in the way here 😀

Very nice big castle ... with castle hotel

An imposing castle on the Lahn, which you can usually only admire from below when you drive past there on the bike path. Opposite is the Schadeck Castle ...
