Yes, a great thing for us cyclists: good surface, no inclines, very direct connection, etc.
But it is also true that traffic-related farsightedness was evident when the line was shut down.

The eventful history of rail traffic in the Offenbach - Dieburg - Reinheim - Ober Roden - Dreieich region can be read in the 2019 yearbook of the Heimatverein. Karlheinz Braun provides information about sections of track that were built from 1896 and partially shut down again. In the sign of the turnaround in traffic, which is considered urgently necessary, such a rail connection would probably not be shut down.

A beautiful green cycle path that offers a good connection from Dieburg to Darmstadt or to Messel or Eppertshausen. Very wide, asphalted, and oh wonder, no potholes. Thanks to its generous width, it is also very comfortable for tricycles to drive on.
