Königsbrünnchen (Frankfurt City Forest)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The bridge over the Jacobiweiher is currently closed, you cannot take a shortcut. Although a lot of people were out, very nice, relaxed round. We see cormorants, an almost white heron and a wagtail.

Jacobi Weiher is always beautiful. And you can eat very well in the Oberschweinstiege.

It's beautiful there in autumn and there are more and more cormorants. Unfortunately there were a lot of planes and cyclists on the way today.
