Hard gravel ride. Very good fitness required. You may need to push your bike for some segments of this route. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

View of Frankfurt from Bonames

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path along the road between Bonames and Frankfurter Berg is easy to ride and a practical connection to the surrounding area or to the Nidda cycle path.

Tannenwaldallee

Highlight • Natural

Great, this straight poplar avenue below the Gothic House.
The “Tannenwaldallee”, as it is called, was created 250 years ago!

Elisabethenschneise

Good for romping uphill and a great descent. In the middle very steep but can be avoided with forest roads

The Große Feldberg is not only the highest peak of the Taunus, but of the entire Rhenish Slate Mountains. The information about its exact height varies between 879 and 881 meters. The summit is extremely popular with day trippers from the Rhine-Main plain. Not only motorcyclists, racing cyclists and mountain bikers meet here on weekends, but also many motorists. It can get really crowded at peak times. Fortunately, the summit plateau is quite large. In addition to the television tower and transmission mast of the Hessian Broadcasting Corporation, there is a restaurant, two kiosks, a hiking home with an observation tower and a falconry. The most beautiful view is from the Brunhildis rock on the northern edge of the plateau. Various hiking trails lead over the summit. After all, the Taunus Club was founded up here and even Goethe liked to hike in the Taunus. There are plenty of trails for mountain bikers, including the official flow trail over the Fuchstanz to Hohemark. Racing cyclists particularly appreciate the twelve-kilometer ascent from Oberursel because of its length. The road from Schmitten is less busy, but also offers fewer vertical meters in one go. The Feldberg is by far not the most beautiful peak in the Taunus, but is definitely part of a tour in the Taunus because of its height and easy accessibility.

Idyllic group of rocks with a great view!
The rocks, which are up to 15 metres high, are also very popular with sport climbers (several climbing routes up to difficulty level 6) 👍

Forest Path Am Waldbach (Taunus)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Not necessarily a trail, but a beautiful path along the course of the Waldbach. The beginning is somewhat hidden behind the clinic.

Schwanheimer Meadows

Highlight • Natural

The Schwanheimer Wiese is the largest forest meadow in Frankfurt. The "Urmain" once rolled past here and deposited the clay on which the Schwanheimer Wald grew. In earlier times, when Schwanheim got into financial difficulties due to war or high taxes, a piece of the forest was cleared and the wood sold. This created open spaces that were leased as meadows and fields. The central piece of the meadows west of Schwanheimer Bahnstraße is called the "Alte Wiese". The name is misleading, however, because the "Alte Wiese" is now the youngest of the Schwanheim meadows. During the Thirty Years' War it became overgrown with bushes, was eventually reforested and was not cleared again until the 19th century.

My Piecycle Bike and Drink Culture (permanently closed)

Highlight • Cafe

Anyone who likes to get around on their beloved two wheels in the Rhine-Main area should know this pearl in Offenbach. The My Piecycle impresses with its charming interior, authentic flair and, of course, professional competence. Here is a complete package of cycling fun. Next to the café is the bike workshop.

The Sun no Sun Club starts and organizes its trips from here. Racing bikes are used more frequently in summer, and gravel bikes in winter and autumn. In addition, some cycle tours start from the beautiful Mathildenviertel, for example to France.

After a euphoric ride, you can have a good time in the best surroundings. With coffee, cake and other delicacies, the joint ride can be evaluated in a relaxed manner and new ideas can be brought to life. In the nice shop you can currently find Muc-Off, Fingers Crossed, SNS Haute Couture and Biehler. If you haven't been there yet, you should change that if possible.

Rad Café with vintage flair.
Monday 3 p.m. to 7 p.m
Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m
