Lohrberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Frankfurt's highest mountain offers a great view from halfway up and not from the highest point. Orchards, small gardens, large parks and Frankfurt's only vineyard make up its landscape.

Hohe Straße (Bergen-Enkheim)

Highlight • Cycleway

Always a pleasure to cycle along this famous old road! Tip: It's not far from here to Büdingen and then further past the former Celtic stronghold of Glauberg to Stockheim …

Nidda Cycle Path near Dortelweil

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Another particularly beautiful section on the Nidda cycle path. Between Bad Vilbel and Karben lies the Nidda-Auen nature reserve. Here you will find rare animal and plant species.

Castle Park Bad Vilbel

Highlight • Rest Area

Bad Vilbel is always worth a detour! Especially because of the fountains and the Hassia source museum.

Nidda Auen Bad Vilbel

Highlight • River

Great how the Nidda meanders through the landscape here. After years of renaturation efforts, numerous animal and plant species find their habitat in the species-rich floodplains. Kingfishers, beavers, and even the European pond turtle have been able to resettle here.

I did the whole thing in rain gear - the 3/4 rain pants and rain jacket were okay -. On the next leg to Bad Vilbel, I could pack away the rain gear again, as it had …

First tour, three cyclists @two chain problems. The first only resulted in dirty fingers, the second unfortunately for a bike ride and public transport.
But the weather was lovely, and it was even possible to cycle quickly at times. A great start to the year

January 9, 2022,Von Niederdorfelden über Hohe Straße nach Ffm Praunheim zu den Nutrias und an der Nidda entlang zurück

Since the weather should be better - at least dry - this afternoon, I have planned a bike tour against the announced wind direction. What I had been planning for a long time were the Nutrias favored by Joachim N. at the Nidda-Altarm Wehr in Praunheim.
Since I didn't want to drive the same route there and back, I first …
