The Lahnfenster is a water information centre where you can observe life in the river through a pane. Information is provided on the Lahn and the animals and plants living there.

Outside opening hours, a digital information portal is available. There you can learn interesting facts about the Lahn and view recordings of the digital fish trap. This was installed at the fish ladder and records the fish swimming through it. The species, their size and number are recorded. Games and puzzles are also integrated into the information portal and impart knowledge about the river.

Information on events and other measures can be found on the website: www.lila-livinglahn.de
