Two headwaters: The Main originates near Kulmbach from the confluence of the White Main (Fichtelgebirge) and the Red Main (Franconian Jura). Length: It is approximately 527 kilometers long, making it the longest right-bank tributary of the Rhine. Federal States: It flows through Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg (a short stretch as a border), and Hesse. Mouth: It flows into the Rhine near Mainz-Kastel (Wiesbaden), opposite Mainz. Navigation and Significance Waterway: The Main is navigable for 384 kilometers and is a central European transport artery. Main-Danube Canal: Via this canal, the Main is connected to the Danube, enabling continuous navigation from the North Sea to the Black Sea. Locks: To compensate for the difference in altitude, there are a total of 34 stairsteps. Regions and Cities Important Cities: It passes through Bamberg, Schweinfurt, Würzburg, Aschaffenburg, Hanau, Offenbach, and Frankfurt am Main, among others. Landscapes: The Maindreieck and Mainviereck in Franconia are particularly famous for their viticulture. Cultural Significance Main Line: The river is often seen as a symbolic border between North and South Germany (the so-called "White Sausage Equator" line often runs conceptually here).

Kelsterbach Riverside Terrace (Main River floodplain)

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Bierbaum.Aichele.Landscape Architects
2020

The open space design of the Main foreland is the result of a competition won in 2011. Thanks to the sensitive approach to the history and topography of the site, the redesign of the Main foreland has become a key project for the city of Kelsterbach, highlighting the unique location on the Main River with the steep slope behind it, improving the quality of local recreational areas, and simultaneously connecting the city to the regional park route. Large-scale measures, such as a new, barrier-free access from the residential area at the Enka site or the upgrading of the confluence of the Kelster and Main Rivers, were complemented by specific measures. In addition to the optimized cycle path connection, existing historic buildings were carefully integrated, and the public space was enhanced with striking squares. For example, a new square was created at the confluence of the Kelster and Main Rivers in 2015, with a seating area along the river. The transition from Graf-de-Chardonnet-Platz to the riverbank is via the "Mainblick" square, which leads directly to the Mainstrand beach and Leinepfad (Leine path), with a walkway and steps at the former bastion providing access to the Main. Approximately 100 meters further, at the harbor, an illuminated walkway and steps lead from the bastion over a height difference of 14 meters into the Mainhöhe residential area.

Frankfurt Airport Spotter Point West and Center Runways

Highlight • Viewpoint

Open 24/7 and always a highlight (day and night). In winter, you can spot the de-icing here; otherwise, you can spot landings and takeoffs on the west runway. For spotting (with a camera), I recommend following the path (after the barrier), as you'll be standing at a slightly higher elevation and won't have the fence in your view.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Super spot, it's best to use an app like „Flightradar” in parallel to see what's coming next and from which direction. A few meters from here, you can also visit the Airlift Memorial and view the two historical aircraft standing there up close.

June 28, 2025,Einmal von Mörfelden-Walldorf nach Gundhof Biergarten und Gaststätte

Hello everyone,
I did a self-planned tour around Frankfurt today. First around the airport, which was incredibly exciting to watch all the ✈️ planes. Then I took the ferry across to the other side of the Main and stopped at Orange Beach. Then I headed into the hustle and bustle of Frankfurt City, including the Main Tower, which was amazing. …

After our visit to the ship Bootshaus, the return trip without navigation system led along the iron footbridge at Mrs. Ruscher's to the east of the airport.
You should always plan a visit to the Bootshaus. 🌞🌞🌞🌞
