    Tips

    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.

        Beautiful lush meadows in the middle of the conglomerate of cities and traffic routes. Here, the hiking and cycling path rightly carries "Grüngürtelweg".
