The best road cycling routes in Frankfurter Stadtwald

Very narrow county road, where cars drive up to 100 km/h and only see cyclists at the last moment. There is not only little space to evade oncoming traffic, but buses in particular overtake very closely, and the air turbulence when they merge back into the lane can knock inexperienced cyclists off their bikes... If you want to ride here at all, you should only risk it from Frankfurt in the direction of Neu-Isenburg, where the route goes more downhill, and you should reach at least 50 km/h... If you are too slow here (especially in the direction of Frankfurt), you are risking your life. This is not a cycling race track but primarily a car road, and cyclists should switch to the neighboring forest paths, such as the Jacobiweg, at least when going uphill. I have seen cargo bikes with children here, which is highly dangerous, especially because a cargo bike is too wide to be overtaken with the minimum distance.

It is certainly not a safe road for racing bikes, as the road is relatively narrow for both bicycles and cars at the same time.

Founding (1870): Conrad Binding founded the brewery in 1870 at Garküchenplatz in Frankfurt's old town. Relocation & Rise (1881): Due to rapid growth, the brewery moved in 1881 to its current location on Sachsenhäuser Berg, which remained the heart of the company until 2023. Expansion (20th Century): In 1921, Binding merged with Schöfferhof-Bürgerbräu to form "Schöfferhof Binding Bürgerbräu AG." The brand developed into the leading brewery in Frankfurt and the surrounding region. Oetker Group (from 1952/53): Dr. August Oetker KG acquired a majority stake, making the brewery part of today's Radeberger Group. Radeberger Group (from 2002): Binding-Brauerei AG has operated under the Radeberger Group name since 2002. End of production in Frankfurt (2023): After more than 150 years of tradition, beer production at the Sachsenhäuser Berg site ended in September 2023. The "Binding" brand will continue, but will now be produced at other Radeberger Group locations (including Nuremberg/Tucher). Brand identity: The "Binding eagle" logo is well-known and has represented Frankfurt's beer culture since 1870/1881 (Hibbdebach/Dribbdebach).

Here you will find a small green area with beautiful old trees and seating.

From the bridge, you have a magnificent view across the Main River to the Frankfurt skyline. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset over the Main.

There's a separate bike path next to the road here, great.

From the Friedensbrücke, you have a wide, uninterrupted view of the Frankfurt skyline—especially beautiful at sunset. For a quick break, the Lilit Café, located right at the bridgehead in Sachsenhausen, is a great place to stop for a coffee to go.
