December 28, 2025, Mühlensteg Bridge in Bad Vilbel

A cross between a pig, a newt, and a starling: that's the mascot of Frankfurt's Green Belt.

The mill bridge with its roof is rather unusual in the area, but it also has certain advantages.

Beautiful route for running, cycling or walking. Always nice along the Nidda. The asphalt is in great condition. When the weather is nice and on the weekends it can get very busy. If you are cycling, you should be very careful, as there are also a lot of people walking their dogs. Other than that, just enjoy the scenery ☀️
