View of the Main River

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's like with animals in the pasture: the grass behind the fence definitely tastes better.

Stork Nest Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

After the mast lost its function, the “Stork's Nest” sculpture was installed here. A great idea.

The Rumpenheim Main ferry connects Rumpenheim in the south of the Main with Bischofsheim in the north of the Main. There has been a ferry at this point since the 17th century. At that time, Rumpenheim was the only place south of the Main that belonged to the county of Hanau.
The ferry, operated by the Hans Dill ferry company, runs daily all year round. Cyclists pay 80 cents for the crossing (person + bike per trip), and 1 euro with a large cargo bike.

Rumpenheim Palace Park Pavilions

Highlight • Monument

A small, beautiful castle park with seating between great, old trees. You can look at pavilions, statues and old foundation walls, the circuit can be extended along the Main as you like.

Statue of Diana the Huntress, Rumpenheim Palace Park

Highlight • Monument

In 2019, the Rumpenheim Castle Park received a replica of its former Diana statue (the one in Eichenzell
near Fulda) and is also a replica, a historical one. She appears in newspaper articles in the 1950s
described as damaged by vandalism, that is, the forelegs of the animal figure were "deliberately" chopped off
as shown by the illustrations at the time. Incidentally, it is also mentioned that the figure is already "over a hundred years old",
which makes it clear that it was not one of the earliest furnishings in the palace park, but was built later.
The original can be admired in the Louvre in Paris. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, appears in a toga just like her
grabs a deer by the antlers with her left hand and grasps a quiver behind her back with her right hand.
