View of Mainz from the Rhine Riverbank

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's almost like the "small" skyline of Frankfurt am Main. A very nice picture. The downer in the view is the huge new building, which is now directly in front of the cathedral.

April 27, 2025,# R25.036 | Rhein-Main Rides: Touring-Runde zwischen Rüsselsheim, Flörsheim, Hochheim und Mainz

After a hiking trip with my sweetheart (on Monday) to the Odenwald, today we're taking a short cultural tour of the Main and Rhine rivers from Rüsselsheim on our eco-trekking bikes.

But first, a visit to the Opelvillen for an exhibition recommended to us in the magazine "Art Kaleidoskop": Robert Lebeck, one of Germany's greatest photojournalists until the 1990s.

A little late in the morning, and already in quite hot temperatures, I set off on a two-hour tour of the diverse western outskirts of Rüsselsheim.
As the photos show, there's a lot to discover here.

November 19, 2023,Hochwasser am Rhein bei Mainz

Short morning trip to Mainz to see the flooding on the Rhine.
The view of the Main and Rhine at the top of the Main from the railway bridge at dizzy heights is particularly spectacular. Here you can see Mainz and Wiesbaden, the Taunus and the flooded banks of both rivers.
Another detour took me to the Mainz customs port …

The last stage of the Main cycle path, which we completely cycled, led from the Opel city of Rüsselsheim via the mouth of the Main to Mainz and the main station, from where we took the train back to the starting point in Würzburg. Unfortunately, none of the photos (21) on this last stage were transferred by Komoot, for whatever …

December 7, 2024,Abendliche Jubiläums-Tour (35.000 km Crossrad)

Today was a rainy Saturday that just didn't seem to want to end. Nevertheless, after the last rain clouds had cleared in the late afternoon, I took the opportunity to do a relatively dry anniversary ride on the cross bike.

Since mid-2017, I have ridden this bike 35,000 accident- and fall-free kilometers in both summer and winter.
