Hiking

The entire main front of the former Höchster Stadtbefestigung is relatively well preserved and has only recently been restored. The landside parts of the city wall, however, were already removed in the 19th century for reasons of urban expansion - there are only isolated fragments.

Hiking

The wall on the Main side between Mainberg and Brüningpark is almost 400 meters long. Today, together with the Justinuskirche and the castle tower, it shapes the view of the Höchst old town on the river side. At the beginning of the 20th century, the formerly flat Höchst bank of the Main was raised up to two meters to build a quay. As a result, parts of the wall are now underground, and it appears lower than it actually is. In 1976 the city wall was renovated.

Cycling

The history of Höchst can be easily understood here. There are many signs explaining what it is and giving a glimpse of the time (as it might have been).
