The Wallstadt barrage is a barrage on the Main River at kilometer 1, between Kleinwallstadt and Großwallstadt. The nearest lock downstream is located just 8.5 kilometers away in Obernau. The development of the Main River through the construction of barrages took place upstream in several stages. The Wallstadt barrage is part of the third construction phase, completed between 1926 and 1941. The weir consists of three cylindrical steel gates, each supported on its sides by massive concrete weir piers standing in the river. Above the weir, an iron weir bridge is used for maintenance work.🚴‍♂️

The chamber lock is located on the left bank of the river (in the Großwallstadt district) and is 299.93 m long and 12 m wide. The Main River is permitted here for vessels/convoys with a length of 90 m and a width of 11.45 m (the permitted length may be increased to up to 110 m for a vessel and up to 190 m for a convoy if the vessel or convoy is equipped with an active bow steering system and a communication link between the steering position and the bow of the vessel or convoy). Between the weir and the lock is a boat lock with a usable width of 2.50 m and a usable length of 12 m.

A weir bridge (with gratings), approximately 3 m wide and accessible via stairs, leads over the lock system and the Main River, serving as a public footpath and is also easily accessible by bicycle.

Silkworms are monophonic, which means that they only eat the leaves of the mulberry tree. That is why the trees were grown on the Main in the war years.

Roland-Schwing Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The blue wonder at the NATO ramp, a steel arch bridge, 150 m span, 10 m width; floated in September 2000 after it had previously been built in one piece on land... Costs around 16 million DM... today, for that amount, only the raw steel would be released from the construction site...🤢.
P.s: Due to the narrow lane for oncoming traffic when cycling, there is a prescribed direction of travel for crossing (as signposted)
