Main Riverside Path Towards Aschaffenburg

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path with a great view of the Main. But be careful! It's very busy here, especially at weekends. Walkers, cyclists and people walking their dogs. As the path is not very wide, you should ride carefully.

Seligenstadt Monastery was a Benedictine abbey in Seligenstadt that existed from the 9th to the 19th century. The monastery complex is located on the banks of the Main in the immediate vicinity of the ruins of the Seligenstadt Palace, historically on the edge but within the ring of walls of the city of Seligenstadt, and today in its center in the eastern district of Offenbach in Hesse.

Einhard († 840), biographer of Charlemagne, received the settlement "Obermulinheim", the original name of the place, as a gift from Charlemagne's son, Louis the Pious, in 815. Einhard founded the Seligenstadt Monastery here around 828 and became its first abbot after the death of his wife Imma in 830. In Rome, he acquired relics of the early Christian martyrs Marcellinus and Peter in an unclear manner, which he initially housed in the Steinbach Monastery and then transferred to Seligenstadt. Einhard set up a convent of clergy to institutionalize the cult of the saints and to look after the pilgrims.

There are hardly any reliable sources from the period between about 850 and 1000. The clerical foundation was probably converted into a Benedictine monastery around 1000. The monastery was directly under imperial control until 1002, when King Henry II transferred it to the Würzburg bishop Henry I as a fief. In 1045 the monastery received the right to mint coins from Emperor Henry III. In 1063 King Henry IV handed the monastery over as a private monastery to the Archbishop of Mainz, to whose domain it belonged until secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. From 1051 to 1122 the Archbishops of Mainz were also abbots of the monastery in personal union.

The monastery complex corresponded to the ideal model of a Benedictine monastery according to the monastery plan of St. Gallen.

The banks of the Main between the western and eastern harbors are Frankfurt's longest sunbathing area. When the weather is nice, you can hardly see the lawn for the crowds. There are particularly great skyline views from the south bank. Main café and kebab boat on the Untermain Bridge, Gang and Gäbe, Oosten and two cocktail bars near the ECB offer refreshments.

Frankfurt is the city with the highest cultural budget in Germany. This is mainly due to the numerous top-class museums. Many of them are lined up along the Museumsufer in the middle of the city.

The Mainufer with its promenade, the green areas and its distinctive bridges is one of the big attractions of the city. Overlooking the impressive skyline, the residents of Frankfurt and their guests can walk for miles along the shore, go jogging or cycling. From here also the excursion boats start along the Main. Art lovers will also appreciate the numerous museums along the banks of the River Main, which is one of Europe's most important museum locations.

Nearby in Dettingen is a parking lot, which is often used by car to drive there and then continue by bike to the Hahnenkamm

September 4, 2025,From Frankfurt am Main to Seligenstadt and back home, Germany
Many thanks to those who took part in repairing bicycle roads along Main this summer. Now they are opened and simply amazing. Almost the whole route between Frankfurt am Main and Aschaffenburg which goes also through beautiful fields and towns Steinheim and Seligenstadt looks like on the attached photos. I highly recommend to ride there.
The cycle path along the Main had everything to offer 👏🏼
Borderline people, beautiful asphalt, modest asphalt, gravel, stairs ... 😁
A beautiful lake as the destination of the tour has once again turned out to be a particularly great delicacy 😍
