Old Railway Bridgehead

Highlight • Bridge

Interesting view of the old bridgehead. I would have liked to linger here, but this time the dark clouds warned me to continue.

Kostheimer Bridge – Gustavburg/Kostheim 🚴‍♂️

Highlight • Bridge

The Kostheimer Brücke connects the Wiesbaden district of Mainz-Kostheim with the Gustavsburg district of the city of Ginsheim-Gustavsburg. Already in Roman times there was a bridge nearby, the remains of the bridge piers can be seen at low tide about 200 meters in the direction of Mainz on the Gustavsburg side. The bridge has existed in its current form since 1947, so it is of historical interest. A visit is worthwhile, as a new bridge is planned. The bridge will probably be classified as a cultural monument beforehand.

Rüsselsheim Fortress

Highlight • Castle

This hiking highlight (section) also points to a tour through the fortress moat. One round is recommended. In addition to some benches, the well-preserved ramparts are visible. Only the foundations of the towers are visible, as they were blown up by the French in 1689. In winter and when it is wet, the moat can be uncomfortably cold and damp compared to the surrounding area.
