Nidda River Landscape

Highlight • River

The Nidda River is a magnificent river landscape. Especially upstream, the area is being increasingly renaturalized. It's wonderfully relaxing to cycle along it.

A very special facility in Frankfurt's city forest. From the tower there is a magnificent view in all directions. Thank God this tower has been rebuilt!

An idyllic white water in the middle of Frankfurt... it's crazy 👍
Just 10 years ago it was absolutely unthinkable... when the Nidda was still a dead, life-threatening canal!

May 25, 2025,GrünGürtel: following official round-route around Frankfurt am Main, Germany

One of the best bicycle routes that Frankfurt am Main offers in my opinion. I used official one, provided by the @Stadt Frankfurt am Main . Just changed the starting and the end points to Gerbermühle as it is the closest point to the city center. There are a lot of beautiful places along the route. Highly recommend to ride. …

Despite the fact that outside was hot today, the ride was successful. When the road went through the forests under the trees shadows it was the most pleasant ride.

A long digestive round in draughty temperatures. But the calorie balance is now back to normal. Happy third Advent to all 🍾

Every year and always a great tour.
The Green Belt is a tour that goes around Frankfurt, with many entry and exit points. If you want, you can stop at many restaurants and take a short break there.
Have fun trying it out

Classic! Beautiful, varied, rather flat and low-traffic route around Frankfurt. Construction sites on the Nidda (near Sossenheim and Harheim) led to minor detours.
