The Mainz South Bridge (also known as the Mainz-South Railway Bridge, and at times as the Mainz-Gustavsburg Railway Bridge) is a railway bridge on the Mainz–Frankfurt railway line, spanning the Rhine at river kilometer 496.4 and connecting Mainz in Rhineland-Palatinate with Gustavsburg in Hesse. A footbridge attached to the north side of the bridge allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross the river.

No, of course this isn't Nice or Saint-Tropez, so the boats are smaller 😄. But the boats and small yachts are certainly beautiful to look at. Plus, it's a wonderful starting point for a walk along the Rhine towards Eltville.

During high tide, the Main level adapts to the height of the Rhine up to the first barrage. There is not much to see from the Mainspitze on either side of the river.
