Like on April 15th, it was very stormy. A good preparation for our hiking week on Texel/NL, which starts tomorrow. It can also be very stormy on the North Sea coast.

We briefly moved into the Maaraue district of Mainz, or Mainz-Kostheim, with a beautiful view across the Rhine to the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital.

Then we continued …

A very nice hike between two federal states framed by two large rivers. There is a lot to see, especially the Mainz Rhine promenade and the shipping on the two rivers.

Around the Main River
The Frankfurt metropolitan area is not called the Rhine-Main region by chance, as neither the Taunus nor the Odenwald mountains were responsible for its economic importance.

This entertaining hike around the mouth …
