The Theodor Heuss Bridge is the connection between Hesse and Rheinhessen. A bit tricky in terms of cycling or I haven't found the safe way yet. Very nice building 👍😎

During high tide, the Main level adapts to the height of the Rhine up to the first barrage. There is not much to see from the Mainspitze on either side of the river.
