Two headwaters: The Main originates near Kulmbach from the confluence of the White Main (Fichtelgebirge) and the Red Main (Franconian Jura). Length: It is approximately 527 kilometers long, making it the longest right-bank tributary of the Rhine. Federal States: It flows through Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg (a short stretch as a border), and Hesse. Mouth: It flows into the Rhine near Mainz-Kastel (Wiesbaden), opposite Mainz. Navigation and Significance Waterway: The Main is navigable for 384 kilometers and is a central European transport artery. Main-Danube Canal: Via this canal, the Main is connected to the Danube, enabling continuous navigation from the North Sea to the Black Sea. Locks: To compensate for the difference in altitude, there are a total of 34 stairsteps. Regions and Cities Important Cities: It passes through Bamberg, Schweinfurt, Würzburg, Aschaffenburg, Hanau, Offenbach, and Frankfurt am Main, among others. Landscapes: The Maindreieck and Mainviereck in Franconia are particularly famous for their viticulture. Cultural Significance Main Line: The river is often seen as a symbolic border between North and South Germany (the so-called "White Sausage Equator" line often runs conceptually here).

Holbein Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Holbeinsteg, built in 1990, is named after the Augsburg painter family Holbein. The nearly 150-meter-long suspension bridge, supported by two pylons, is the third Main Bridge in Frankfurt after the Ironbridge (from 1868) and the Fechenheim Arthur von Weinberg Bridge (from 1983), which is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.

Bierbaum.Aichele.Landscape Architects
2020

The open space design of the Main foreland is the result of a competition won in 2011. Thanks to the sensitive approach to the history and topography of the site, the redesign of the Main foreland has become a key project for the city of Kelsterbach, highlighting the unique location on the Main River with the steep slope behind it, improving the quality of local recreational areas, and simultaneously connecting the city to the regional park route. Large-scale measures, such as a new, barrier-free access from the residential area at the Enka site or the upgrading of the confluence of the Kelster and Main Rivers, were complemented by specific measures. In addition to the optimized cycle path connection, existing historic buildings were carefully integrated, and the public space was enhanced with striking squares. For example, a new square was created at the confluence of the Kelster and Main Rivers in 2015, with a seating area along the river. The transition from Graf-de-Chardonnet-Platz to the riverbank is via the "Mainblick" square, which leads directly to the Mainstrand beach and Leinepfad (Leine path), with a walkway and steps at the former bastion providing access to the Main. Approximately 100 meters further, at the harbor, an illuminated walkway and steps lead from the bastion over a height difference of 14 meters into the Mainhöhe residential area.

The southern bank of the Main offers, as far as the season and the time of day, the family Schwan a place to relax.

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.

After our visit to the ship Bootshaus, the return trip without navigation system led along the iron footbridge at Mrs. Ruscher's to the east of the airport.
You should always plan a visit to the Bootshaus. 🌞🌞🌞🌞
