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.

Main riverbank path at the bird island

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The southern bank of the Main offers, as far as the season and the time of day, the family Schwan a place to relax.

Mönchhof Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Mönchhofkapelle is a historic yet simple building. The chapel and the cemetery in front of it are not accessible. Worth seeing are the walls, the gate, the weather vane, the large cross and the old graves, some of whose inscriptions can be easily read from the outside.

The construction of the Ölhafen Bridge swings in a spiral path over the approximately 70 meters wide Raunheim oil port access. Since 2013 she closes the gap in the cycle route on the southern side of the Main. "A band that connects both sides of the Raunheim oil port like a curved brushstroke", architect Michael Schumacher described the design concept.

Lily Pond

Highlight • Lake

Very small pond, also botanically interesting thanks to the blooming water lilies.

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.
