My personal highlight of today's tour through new areas! The renaturalized Sulzbach stream in the tranquil park (despite being in the heart of Frankfurt and adjacent to the A66 motorway) is truly inviting and perfect for relaxing and taking a breather. It's always amazing what hidden gems Frankfurt has to offer!

The renaturalization project was only effectively completed at this location in 2025. Before that, it was "nice," but nothing more. Today, at least here, one can get an impression of what the Nidda might originally have looked like. A little further downstream towards Höchst, there is also a more natural stretch – otherwise, unfortunately, it's still a very straightened river, yet still one of the most beautiful sections in Frankfurt.

Thanks to the helper from RC Hattersheim who tirelessly warned about the hairpin bend.

This is the Kelsterbach Canoe Club. Below is some information from the club. Our club is dedicated to promoting canoeing and kayaking for recreational and amateur athletes – entirely on a volunteer and non-profit basis. We do not offer canoe rentals or guided tours. However, anyone interested in canoeing is warmly invited to visit us during our training sessions and participate in a free introductory session. This is a great way to get to know our sport and our club without any obligation!

This forest, dubbed the northernmost pine forest in Europe (though I'm not an expert, I'd guess it's *Pinus pinea*), was probably a mistake. In the 19th century, the Kapellenberg hill was reforested, and these pines were planted on its barren, rocky southern slope. The city's 1878 accounts mention 11,500 young *Pinus* saplings – without specifying them further. Did *Pinus pinea* sound much more like a pine tree to the buyer than *Pinus sylvestris*? In any case, the Mediterranean plants seem to thrive here, attracting many a surprised glance from passersby.

Here you'll find a wooden shelter and a small vineyard. Definitely a nice spot for a break.
