Frankfurt Airport Tour

Frankfurt Flughafen

Frankfurt Airport is one of the largest in Europe. It is surrounded by nature reserves, making for an easy ride that offers a variety of landscapes.

Description

This varied mountain bike tour begins at the Frankfurt soccer stadium, which is easily accessible from the city center via the S-Bahn or well-maintained trails. Right from the start, a series of first-class single trails awaits you. However, since these trails are also marked as horseback riding routes, riding with foresight and caution is absolutely essential to ensure harmonious coexistence in the forest. Those who wish to avoid the challenge of the narrow trails can switch to the nearby gravel roads at any time.

This way, you’ll quickly reach the town of Kelsterbach and ride along the Main River downstream for a bit. The route then turns toward Mönchwaldsee and leads to the west and southeast sides of Frankfurt Airport. Here, you’ll be riding through valuable nature reserves, primarily on solid gravel roads combined with a few short single trails. A fascinating picture of contrasts unfolds before you: on the ground, you enjoy the protected natural environment, while in the air, the bustling air traffic with massive passenger jets is a source of wonder. The massive corridors of power lines cutting through the landscape also reflect the tension between technology and nature.

As the tour continues, you pass through the town of Walldorf to the south of the airport.

At the nearby Langener Waldsee, mountain bikers get their money’s worth once again as they tackle a few more attractive trail sections on their knobby tires. From here, you ride leisurely past the town of Zeppelinheim back to the soccer stadium.

Note: The tour is also well-suited for a gravel bike.
