Kinzig Bridge Bulau – Hanau 🚴‍♂️

The "Kinzig Bridge" is a wooden bridge in the Bulau floodplain landscape and serves as a quick crossing for cyclists and pedestrians across the Kinzig River from Hanau towards Wolfgang. 🚴‍♂️

The "Bulau" area is a near-natural floodplain landscape northeast of Hanau, the likes of which are very rare in Germany. It lies on the lower reaches of the Kinzig River and, due to its biodiversity, is largely protected as the "Erlensee near Erlensee and Bulau near Hanau" area. Bulau also features well-preserved sections of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, the ruins of St. Wolfgang Monastery, the Wolfgang Forestry Office with the Hessian forest seed kiln, and the Barbarossa Spring. Whether the forest's name derives from Pfahl, the Roman Limes, is still debated today.

Numerous bike rides and walking trails make the area and its diverse flora and fauna a truly memorable experience, especially in spring. 🚴‍♂️
