View of Kinzigtal, Bergkirche, and Frankfurt skyline

Highlight • Viewpoint

Former Geographical Center of the European Union (Meerholz)

Highlight • Monument

Interesting that the geographical center of the European Union was once here. However, as new countries were repeatedly admitted to the EU, the point shifted again. Connecting these points creates the so-called Mittelpunktsweg (center path).

After the turbulence of the past few days, I absolutely needed nature and oxygen today. This was opposed to the weather report, which had nothing to announce apart from continuous rain. But a look at the weather radar promised hope, because from about 12 o'clock there were almost no precipitation echoes over Rhein-Main for about 2 hours.
In such cases, …
