Rüsselsheim Fortress

Highlight • Castle

This hiking highlight (section) also points to a tour through the fortress moat. One round is recommended. In addition to some benches, the well-preserved ramparts are visible. Only the foundations of the towers are visible, as they were blown up by the French in 1689. In winter and when it is wet, the moat can be uncomfortably cold and damp compared to the surrounding area.

Take your time and watch the ships go by. This is “decelerating”.

The Sachsenhausen Main bank from the Gerbermühle to the Friedensbrücke and beyond - in the early morning a fantastic route to start the day with a smile.

Old Bridge Frankfurt am Main

Highlight • Bridge

The old bridge is probably 800 years old (1st documented mention in 1235), but possibly much older. At the beginning it was made of wood before it was replaced by a stone one. Over the centuries it has been destroyed, damaged, rebuilt and repaired several times.
Originally there were also two bridge towers whose gates were locked at night so that no one could cross the Main.
In 1306 two pillars of the bridge were knocked over by ice and flooding, whereby ten of the 500 onlookers on the bridge were killed. The two towers were also destroyed, but rebuilt.
The tower on the Frankfurt side later served as a prison and a torture chamber. In 1616 the severed heads of three well-known criminals were hung here and left hanging for 150 years, one even until 1801.

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.
