Reiseführer Rhein-Main-Region mit Taunus und Odenwald

The Rhine-Main region is one of the most culturally and scenically diverse areas in Germany. New discoveries and facets, as well as exciting cultural and natural experiences, await around every corner. From the dense forests of the Taunus and Odenwald with their hilltop castles, to the vineyards of the Rheingau, the floodplain landscape, the orchards of the Hessian Ried, and the Bergstrasse, to the cities of Frankfurt, Offenbach, Hanau, Darmstadt, and Wiesbaden – conviviality with wine and apple wine, wellness offerings, countless museums, and cultural events attract visitors year-round. A visit to the artist colony Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, which has recently been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is particularly interesting.

Lilly Nielitz-Hart grew up in the Rhine-Main region and has come to know and love the area through her work as a local reporter. Simon Hart, born in northern England, first came to Frankfurt after his studies and immediately fell in love with Hessian culture and the multicultural way of life. In their travel guide to Rhine-Main, the authors inspire readers to explore this diverse region, which they have extensively traveled and discovered, where a Mediterranean lifestyle meets vibrant urban culture and beautiful nature in the hinterland. They demonstrate how the Rhine-Main region can be wonderfully explored without a car – by bicycle, on foot, or using public transportation – and provide numerous tips for extensive cycling tours and hikes.

Each chapter begins with a double page that presents the content along with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Color-coded page number boxes corresponding to the chapters make it easier to navigate the book. Naturally, the travel guide includes tried-and-true practical tips for travel questions from A to Z. The expanded introduction features overview pages with descriptions of all regions, as well as a yearly overview of festivals and events.
