Cycle path along the main dike and the Old Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

Here, you can compete with the racing cyclists for many kilometers on the best asphalt ;-). Riding away from the road in what is admittedly a rather desolate landscape has something almost meditative about it.

Rhein Cycle Expressway Am Damm

Highlight • Cycleway

It's a really great cycle path. You can decide whether you want to drive asphalted or on the dam a grass-gravel road.

Ginsheim Rhine Ship Mill

Highlight • Monument

An authentic reconstruction of the last productive Rhine ship mill offers interesting and fascinating insights into the technology and working conditions of bygone times. Unfortunately, it can only be visited by appointment by phone or through the tourist information office.

In Ginsheim, ship mills were anchored in the Rhine for several centuries, and milling was a veritable industry.

View of the confluence of the Rhine and Main at Mainspitze

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's always nice to see how rivers make their way through our environment....
The cycle paths in the German river landscape have improved enormously in recent years and are very well developed.
The Main Cycle Path is particularly popular here and is also suitable for beginners on a multi-day tour.

Rüsselsheim Fortress

Highlight • Castle

This hiking highlight (section) also points to a tour through the fortress moat. One round is recommended. In addition to some benches, the well-preserved ramparts are visible. Only the foundations of the towers are visible, as they were blown up by the French in 1689. In winter and when it is wet, the moat can be uncomfortably cold and damp compared to the surrounding area.

Oil port Mainbrücke - Raunheim/GG 🚴‍♂️

Highlight • Bridge

The construction of the Ölhafen Bridge swings in a spiral path over the approximately 70 meters wide Raunheim oil port access. Since 2013 she closes the gap in the cycle route on the southern side of the Main. "A band that connects both sides of the Raunheim oil port like a curved brushstroke", architect Michael Schumacher described the design concept.
