Instead of the uninviting Main crossings at the car and train bridges, you can come here with a great view from both sides of Griesheim to Schwanheim. You can see the great engineering achievements up close and also observe lock operations up close.

The Griesheim barrage in the urban area of Frankfurt am Main at Main km 28.69 is a barrage with a lock. The facility is located between Griesheim and Goldstein. The Main here has an average water flow of 200 m³ / s, which can increase to more than tenfold with a hundred-year flood. The bank areas and the lock island around the barrage have been part of the European bird sanctuary since 2003

Here you can cross the Main, which is very wide here, and enjoy the views of him and beyond ...
