Main ferry Rumpenheim - Offenbach a.M.

Highlight • Structure

The most beautiful way to cross the Main River between Frankfurt and Hanau. It's hard to believe: There's been a ferry service at this point since the 17th century. It's a cable-stayed ferry, which means it harnesses the river's current. Fascinating technology. The small ferry carries pedestrians, cyclists, and even cars, although there's not much room for them.

View of the Frankfurt Skyline and European Central Bank

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path runs directly along the Main riverbank. If you cycle the entire Grüngürtelweg, you will repeatedly get new perspectives of the Frankfurt skyline. The view of the European Central Bank is particularly striking here.

View of the Frankfurt skyline from the Mainufer

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

View of the Frankfurt skyline from Flößerbrücke

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Flößerbrücke connects the Obermainanlage in the city center with the Deutschherrnufer in Sachsenhausen. Its trademark is visible from a distance: a 21.50 meter high green pylon spans this belt bridge. Because of its asymmetry, the bridge is also known in Frankfurt's vernacular as "that wacky thing". However, it is one of the busiest bridges in Frankfurt, as federal highway 3 runs over it with only four lanes, flanked by two pedestrian and cycle paths.
The rafters' bridge was originally a 207 meter long temporary bridge made of steel latticework. After all of Frankfurt's bridges were blown up in 1945 and the Old Bridge - only poorly patched together - had to cope with too high a volume of traffic, this temporary bridge was built in 1964. Initially only intended as a temporary solution, the rafters' bridge became established and remained in operation even after the old bridge was renovated. It was rebuilt between 1984 and 1986. Type: Rein strap bridge
Construction period: 1982 -1984
Total length: 221 m
Width: 34.75 m
Headroom of ship: 6.60 m
Usage: - Road bridge
- Pedestrian and bicycle bridge

June 26, 2023,Main-Radweg 11: Von Froschhausen nach Rüsselsheim

Unfortunately, our penultimate stage on the Main Cycle Path did not go quite smoothly. Breakfast had to be taken at a baker's. Then our smartphone failed completely under the skyline of Frankfurt, so that we had to cycle to the end of the route to Rüsselsheim without a navigation system. A few days earlier, a violent tornado raged between Höchst …

Today we went from Hanau/Steinheim to the Götheturm in Frankfurt, always along the Main River. A nice tour so far, but from Offenbach onwards, there were quite a few people around. It was a lot of fun visiting the Götheturm with our group again. There aren't many pictures, as we'd have to stop a few times to look. Greetings to …

November 13, 2025,Rundtour um den Main - Schloss Philippsruhe, Fechenheim, EZB, Offenbach, Hanau

The forecast was for seven hours of sunshine. In reality, it was a misty cloud cover. The ride started past Philippsruhe Castle along the Main River. Onward through Dörnigheim itself, past the Rumpenheim ferry towards Mainkur. A glimpse of the Feldberg mountain beckoned along the way. From Mainkur, the bike path ends abruptly, and one struggles through Fechenheim to the …

September 9, 2021,Auf nach Mainhattan

The last stage from the beautiful Hessian town of Seligenstadt. The closer you get to Frankfurt, the wider the banks of the Main: Here you always cycle on well-developed cycle paths with a view of the river. The train ride back to Rothenburg is adventurous. Changing twice with an e-bike and luggage is always a muscular challenge. Only one bike …
