Hiking

The Opelsteg runs along the former Opelhafen. Previously this area was inaccessible. The Opel factory had to be bypassed extensively via Mainzer Strasse. The Opelsteg is a real highlight, which always offers new insights due to its proximity to the water.

Hiking

The Opelsteg runs 440 meters along the Main. It has a width of 2.50 meters. The jetty is supported on the river side by pillars that were rammed into the Main. On the other side, the jetty is supported by the quay wall. So over the water ... that's something!

I found it very nice to hike along there. It wasn't that busy that day, I almost had the jetty to myself.

Running

In September 2015, the metal walkway was opened directly in front of the Opel power plant. This closed one of the last gaps in the southern Mainuferweg. The footbridge is 440 meters long, the access road on both sides is 1,500 meters. The walkway, consisting of 74 walkway elements, was mounted directly on the previously renovated wall of the Opelhafen. Around 300 tons of steel were used and 1,200 square meters of perforated metal planks were laid.
