View of the Frankfurt Skyline and European Central Bank

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path runs directly along the Main riverbank. If you cycle the entire Grüngürtelweg, you will repeatedly get new perspectives of the Frankfurt skyline. The view of the European Central Bank is particularly striking here.

June 26, 2023,Main-Radweg 11: Von Froschhausen nach Rüsselsheim

Unfortunately, our penultimate stage on the Main Cycle Path did not go quite smoothly. Breakfast had to be taken at a baker's. Then our smartphone failed completely under the skyline of Frankfurt, so that we had to cycle to the end of the route to Rüsselsheim without a navigation system. A few days earlier, a violent tornado raged between Höchst …

It was a lot of fun visiting the Götheturm with our group again. There aren't many pictures, as we'd have to stop a few times to look. Greetings to …

The forecast was for seven hours of sunshine. In reality, it was a misty cloud cover. The ride started past Philippsruhe Castle along the Main River. Onward through Dörnigheim itself, past the Rumpenheim ferry towards Mainkur. A glimpse of the Feldberg mountain beckoned along the way. From Mainkur, the bike path ends abruptly, and one struggles through Fechenheim to the …
