Nidda Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

It is definitely not a ROAD highlight between the mouth of the Main and Bad Vilbel. It is too crowded, too narrow for the heavy traffic, the surface is often too poor (passable, but quickly dirty bike) and the low bridges force taller bikers to be extremely careful. As a racing cyclist, you can't go really fast, but there are also no real challenges. If you are more touristy / relaxed, you have very varied urban backdrops, parks and fields as well as one or the other refreshment stop.

Nidda Old Weir (1920) - Frankfurt/Höchst 🚴‍♂️

The old weir from 1920, used to regulate the Nidda, no longer has a crossing and has since been demolished except for one tower.
As part of the Nidda River restoration and the dismantling of the old Nidda weir, rapids and calm areas have emerged in this section of the river. Fish can now ascend from the Main into the Nidda because the weir is no longer there. Fish can spawn in gravel banks, and various perennials and shrubs grow along the banks without having been specifically planted. The work also includes a newly built pedestrian bridge and 600 meters of redesigned riverside path. 🚴‍♂️

Nidda River Rapids

Highlight • River

An idyllic white water in the middle of Frankfurt... it's crazy 👍
Just 10 years ago it was absolutely unthinkable... when the Nidda was still a dead, life-threatening canal!
After the renaturation, it is now a very interesting, ecologically diverse body of water in this area 🤩

Beautiful piece of landscape here at the Wörthspitze, where the Nidda flows into the Main.
Here you have beautiful views over to the Höchst Main bank with the Bolongaro Palace.

Nice path through the Main meadows with some highlights, especially the chapel at the edge of the path and the spiral bridge.

The construction of the Ölhafen Bridge swings in a spiral path over the approximately 70 meters wide Raunheim oil port access. Since 2013 she closes the gap in the cycle route on the southern side of the Main. "A band that connects both sides of the Raunheim oil port like a curved brushstroke", architect Michael Schumacher described the design concept.

The Leinreiter monument on the River Main is reminiscent of the time when the ships were pulled upriver with horses.

The South Bridge, Mainz

Highlight • Bridge

The Mainz Südbrücke connects the federal states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate. The bridge is designed to have two tracks. Pedestrians and cyclists can also cross the Rhine on a footbridge attached to the outside of the bridge structure.
