城とマイン川を見渡せる美しい場所

Beautiful view of Johannisburg Castle not far from the mini-golf course.

Beautiful bridge that blends in very well with the landscape.

The Einhardhaus is one of the most iconic half-timbered houses in the historic city center of Seligenstadt, Germany. This richly decorated building, dating from 1596, is known for its ornate façade, wooden oriel windows, and the legend that explains the town's name. The current half-timbered house dates from 1596, as evidenced by the inscriptions on the façade. It is a prime example of late German Renaissance half-timbering, characterized by lavish ornamentation and a striking corner oriel window. Although the house was built centuries after his death, it is named after Einhard (c. 770–840), the biographer of Charlemagne and founder of the monastery in Seligenstadt. The oriel window bears an inscription referencing the legend of Einhard and Emma (Charlemagne's daughter). According to legend, Charles recognized his daughter here after a long separation, after which he exclaimed: "Selig sei die Stadt genannt, da ich meine Tochter Emma wiederfand" ("Blessed be the city called where I found my daughter Emma again"), which would explain the name Seligenstadt.

It's always lovely to cycle along the Kahl river.

Kleinostheim has a centuries-old fishing tradition, as the sign of the local heritage and history association reveals.

Here in the small park by the Main River cycle path stands this old fishing boat with an information panel. Benches invite you to linger.

A small underpass beneath the railway tracks, which, contrary to Siegfried's statement, is only suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. It's the smallest tunnel I've seen so far on my travels through Germany :-).
