Frankfurt Airport Runway Northwest Viewing Platform (Fire Station 4)

Highlight • Viewpoint

A must for spotters. Nice clear view thanks to a platform that was built especially for spotters! 👍🏼
The only drawback is that there are no A380s or 747s on the Nordwestbahn!

The Ellis Road runs parallel to the A5, past the Airlift Monument, Spotter Point. It is located on the premises of Frankfurt Airport and crosses take-off & landing aircraft of the runway South & North (Centerbahn).

September 3, 2021,Planespotter-Runde ✈️👀 Airport FRA

ATTENTION ⚠️, this was a very 'nerdy' bike lap in modern German. Probably not everyone likes it because it is very airplane-heavy 😅.

Since I work at the airport and otherwise flying is my passion and incredibly fascinating for me, today we went to all the planespotter platforms and viewpoints around Frankfurt Airport.

The sun shone so beautifully on the descent... ☺️
At the vantage point Startbahn West the thunderstorm came over us... 😩
Pitsche-Patsche-Nass we arrived at Terminal 2... in to the American restaurant and first a cafe... and a small selection of what else you can get... 😁
All in all, a nice tour that needs to be repeated if the …

You wouldn't think that you could cycle around the entire Frankfurt Airport. But you can. And it's really good! There's even a separate cycle path between the two terminals. It's a really cool route. There are places along the way where you can feel the planes thundering overhead a few meters.

June 15, 2023,Flughafenrunde - Airport Frankfurt 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️

After the 2 hiking tours in the Rhön and in Fulda at the beginning of our vacation, a bike trip today after a long time.
After we had a look at the "aircraft parking lot" on the north-west runway during Corona in May 2020, we wanted to come back when flight operations resumed. This has now become a whole circuit …

August 26, 2022,Blick auf die Startbahn West / Landebahn Nord / Nord-West - Runde von Mönchbruch

Once around Frankfurt Airport. Whatever was a wish, I did today. It's great for technology friends what can be seen from outside.
But my first encounter was not technology, but a roebuck that comfortably crossed the path less than 100m from the runway.
At the southern tip of Runway West you can stand directly under the starting machine.
Along the …

May 2, 2025,Flughafenrunde - Airport Frankfurt 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️

In bright sunshine, another item on my bucket list was due today:
A trip around Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

October 1, 2023,Rund um den Frankfurter Flughafen

Varied tour with a lot of views of the airport and airplanes ✈️ Sometimes quite loud - not only the planes taking off and landing, but also the highway, which sometimes has a bike path right next to it 🙉

March 17, 2024,✈️ ℙ𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕡𝕠𝕥𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 ✈️ Airport FFM

A tour that I had been planning for a long time: the bike path around the airport in FFM.
Today I implemented it and it was really simply spectacular!
Parts of the cycle path lead directly past the tarmac and there are numerous spotting spots where you can get very close to the giants.
So close to the Kelsterbach flight …
