View of Mainz from the Rhine Riverbank

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's almost like the "small" skyline of Frankfurt am Main. A very nice picture. The downer in the view is the huge new building, which is now directly in front of the cathedral.

From the weekly market to Mainz... and the moody April did its best - rain, hail, sunshine.

Outward journey via Kelsterbach/Rüsselsheim, return journey via Mainz-Kastel/Hattersheim/Höchst.

The return journey was 50km with strong, gusty headwinds.🤷‍♂️

June 9, 2023,Von Frankfurt zur Mündung des Main in den Rhein & zurück

A terrific tour in wonderful weather with a stop in Flörsheim for a baked Camembert, a short stop at the 'Mole' in Mainz to fill up on water and finally before the final sprint an alcohol-free cyclist (there was no other option because of the heat) at the bar on the Main in Kelsterbach.

June 6, 2024,Von Frankfurt zur Mündung des Main in den Rhein & zurück

The weather held up for the long tour to Mainz and back. However, we had to make a detour just before Kostheim because the Main had flooded the cycle path there. Ralf thought it probably wasn't too deep, started cycling... and got stuck in the water. He continued with wet shoes, no socks and with his trouser legs rolled up …

I've cycled the Main Cycle Path in individual stages from time to time. Today's stage, from Hanau to the confluence of the Main and the Rhine, was still missing. The weather was supposed to be perfect. We took the train to Hanau and then set off on the Main Cycle Path. It was a bit chilly this morning, and the …

My bike ride today was simply beautiful, taking me from Offenbach via Frankfurt to Mainz and back again...and all in beautiful sunshine. I wish I hadn't had the wind, which was quite strong at times.
I was overwhelmed by Mainz Cathedral. I lingered here for a while... simply pausing to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday …

The Rhine is calling: From Offenbach you go along the banks of the Main to the top of the Main and to the banks of the river.

Today on Bridge Day I made my way from Mainz to Frankfurt to the Goethe Tower.
The tour is beautiful along the Main and is rewarded with a magnificent view of the Frankfurt skyline at the Goethe Tower.
Not to forget the sweet potato fries in the restaurant at the Goetheturm.
The way back via Flörsheim and Hochheim is beautiful. …
