View of the Frankfurt skyline from the Berger Hang orchards

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the largest contiguous orchard meadows in Hesse on the skyline and the Enkheimer Ried.
Many springs spring from the Berger back, the source trail in the Frankfurt green belt connects them.

September 4, 2022,Runde um Frankfurt - GrünGürtelweg

The route largely follows the green belt path. But there are also a few detours to sights near the route or parallel cycle paths, e.g. on the other bank of the Main via Offenbach. First, the route runs along the Nidda and through several parks. Observant drivers will also find the green armadillo, the symbol of the trail created by …

The cycle path is well signposted, the symbol can be found at all important crossings and junctions. The route is very varied in terms of landscape, from the Niddatal via the city forest, the banks of the Main and the farmland of the Berger Rücken. 👍

July 17, 2021,🇩🇪 Frankfurt: Grüngürtel Radrundweg 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

We had the green belt on our screen for quite a while and yesterday it finally happened!

We parked at the Schwanheimer dunes and got on the green belt cycle path at the ferry in Höchst. As it turned out afterwards, the decision to go clockwise was the right one.

July 10, 2022,Frankfurt am Main: GrünGürtelradweg

With almost 8,000 hectares, the green belt corresponds to a third of Frankfurt's entire city area. That's why we want to take a look at the metropolis from the "green side" today. We park our car in the P+R car park in Frankfurt Preungesheim. Here we can go straight into the green circuit. Shortly after Preungesheim it goes straight into …

Unfortunately, the entire time is displayed as travel time—but that's not correct. I had to merge the GPX files because the navigation was interrupted. 😮‍💨 Unfortunately, this means the travel time no longer matches, but whatever. 🤷‍♂️

Just in time for the end of the day, clouds were gathering in the sky again, but it doesn't matter, get on your bike and let's go ... today again along the Frankfurt Green Belt for a long time ....
Let's go to the old airfield in Bonames. This is where the tour to the heart of the RheinMain Regional …

July 27, 2022,GrünGürtel-Radrundweg Frankfurt 27.07.2022

The Frankfurt Green Belt is the heart of the RheinMain Regional Park. The approximately 64-kilometer-long, signposted GrünGürtel-Radrundweg encircles Frankfurt. Along the cycle path, the whole diversity of Frankfurt's green belt opens up to you, from almost untouched nature to intensively used industrial areas.

Great round around Frankfurt with wonderful weather and very good company. Herbert Hans Peter and I took the Regiobahn 22 to Frankfurt Höchst. My brother Wolfgang was waiting for us there. Together we circled the cosmopolitan city of Frankfurt in the countryside. On the Nidda to the Lohrberg, Bad Vilbel, Bergen Enkheim, Götheturm, Jacobiweiher and over the Höchst ferry. In …
