View of Mainz from the Rhine Riverbank

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's almost like the "small" skyline of Frankfurt am Main. A very nice picture. The downer in the view is the huge new building, which is now directly in front of the cathedral.

View of the Confluence of the Main and Rhine Rivers

Highlight • Viewpoint

Where else in Germany can you see a large river flowing into an even larger one? Definitely worth seeing.

February 19, 2024,Mainzer Runde in der Dämmerung

Given the gloomy weather forecast, I was well equipped with rain gear for my evening tour of Mainz.
Rain for the first half hour, then it stayed unexpectedly dry until the end of the tour.

Driving into the twilight has its special charm, especially in an urban environment.
The highlight of the tour was the Mainz customs port with its …

February 7, 2022,Kleine Rhein-Main-Foto-Tour

Another beautiful day.
In the late afternoon I set off from Rüsselsheim with the stopover at Hochheim. The cloud-sun spectacle came at exactly the right time and this is how the first wonderful pictures were taken.

Then it went down the vineyards to the Main and then to Mainz-Kostheim. The small observation tower is not spectacular, but offers some nice …

December 17, 2022,Eiskalte Mainzer Runde bei -6 Grad

Nothing came of the predicted sunny Saturday on the Rhine and Main. The sun didn't stand a chance given the high fog in the river valleys.
Quite late I got on my bike and rode the Main Cycle Path from Rüsselsheim to Mainz. The Opelsteg already slowed me down, because the driving surface was made of a kind of checker …

November 26, 2024,Radtour nach Mainz bei Dunkelheit

Every month has its charm, and November is no exception. I set off from Rüsselsheim at around 3:30 p.m. in the best weather and with the sun low in the sky.

The ride on the narrow cycle path through the middle of the Opel factory already offered the first beautiful photo opportunities with intense colors just before sunset.

October 6, 2023,Frühe Abendrunde Rhein-Main

Short tour from home on the Rhine and Main.
The sloppy cut results from a sliding passage on the top of the Main on a disgusting Brenesel trail. Not recommendable!
Somehow it wasn't really a smooth ride, but it was still good to be out in the air and moving.

July 1, 2024,Flusstour an Rhein und Main - Altbekanntes aus neuen Perspektiven

After the rainy morning, the weather was forecast to improve significantly in the afternoon.
So I used the time for a photo-rich river route along the Rhine and Main towards Mainz.
My plan was to provide variety by photographing as many well-known places as possible from new perspectives or even taking pictures of less spectacular motifs for the first time.

April 3, 2023,Darum ist diese Region Rhein-Main so attraktiv

Blue skies and sunshine, but with an icy east wind and a maximum temperature of no more than 7 degrees.

I didn't want to miss out on this long-awaited nice-weather lap in the afternoon.
Two state capitals, two rivers with beautiful promenades, the vineyard landscapes of the eastern Rheingau, lots of nature, mostly off-road paths and repeated views of the …
