The eye-catching oil port bridge was built in 2013. The ascent is wound in an S-shape. Below the bridge there is a rest area with benches. The bridge offers a view of the Main, but not of the oil port. This can be seen from the Raunheim side.

The Nidda rises in Vogelsberg at an altitude of 720 m and flows into the Main in Frankfurt-Höchst. Today she covers around 90 km. Before its regulation in the 1920s and 60s, its river length was almost twice as long. In some places the river has begun to be renatured. https://www.schmidts-papeterie.de/products/niddamundung-bei-frankfurt-hochst
