Kelsterbach is located on the south-western edge of the Rhine-Main region and is only a few kilometres from Frankfurt Airport. The town has a long history as a trading and industrial centre with a rich cultural history. Today, it is a popular destination for business travellers as well as tourists in search of rest and relaxation.

One of the most famous sights in Kelsterbach is the 18th century Freudenberg Castle. It was built in the Baroque style and today houses a museum with changing exhibitions on the art and cultural history of the region.

Another highlight is the natural outdoor pool Kelsterbacher Waldsee, which is especially worthwhile on hot summer days. Here you can swim or simply relax on the idyllic shores of the lake.

For lovers of culinary delights, there are numerous restaurants in Kelsterbach offering regional specialities such as apple wine or Handkäs' mit Musik (a typical Hessian dish). Local breweries also offer beer tastings - perfect for a cosy evening for two or with friends!

If it rains, there are also indoor activities in Kelsterbach such as the Museum für Kommunikation Frankfurt or the Kunsthalle Mainz. Here you can experience art and culture up close.

In autumn, the nearby forest is a popular destination for hikes and walks through colourful leafy landscapes. In winter, you can go sledding or rent cross-country skis on the surrounding hills and enjoy the snow-covered nature.

No matter what time of year - Kelsterbach is always worth a visit! Visit this charming town in the district of Groß-Gerau, Germany and discover its many offerings.

    Dieser Pilgerweg ist bisher für mich der schönste in Deutschland .. er hat dem Mosel-Camino für mich übertroffen.. unfassbar toller Weg ,super liebe hilfsbereite Menschen unterwegs und die verschlafenen hübschen Dörfer die man durchstreift sind wirklich toll.. anspruchsvoll fand ich den Weg nicht , man kann diesen Weg absolut nach den so gut ausgeschilderten Muschel laufen .. ich würde ihn nochmal Pilgern 👍🏽

    Wenn nicht zu viele Hunde(-besitzer), Radfahrer, Jogger und Großfamilien unterwegs sind (deshalb sollte man entweder frühmorgens oder nicht am Wochenende unterwegs sein!) eine einfache und abwechslungsreiche Route, die man empfehlen kann.

    Wir sind die Tour im August 2020 in entgegengesetzte Richtung mit einem Tandem (Hase Pino) gefahren. Die Strecke am Main, Rhein und der Lahn sind sehr schön, auch wenn der Radweg an der Lahn oft nicht direkt am Fluss entlangführt. Zwischen Wetzlar und Frankfurt hat uns die Streckenführung nicht gefallen, da sie teilweise viel befahrenen Landstraßen nutzt. Zwischen Harheim und Okarben kann man beispielsweise auf dem Niddaradweg fahren. Die starke Steigung zwischen Geilnau und Laurenburg kann man illegal, aber gut machbar umfahren. Dazu einfach die Hinweisschilder ignorieren und direkt neben der Lahn fahren. Ein Hangrutsch war nicht ersichtlich und die Strecke war durchgängig mit dem Tandem befahrbar (teilweise Singletrail). Am Rhein lohnen sich Abstecher in die mittelalterlichen Dörfer. Die meisten Wege sind asphaltiert oder zumindest gut geschottert,

    Vielen Dank für die Tour, bin sie gestern gefahren. Den Anstieg zum Feldberg fand ich anspruchsvoll. Ansonsten entspanntes radeln in schöner Umgebung.
