This walk leads through Frankfurt's Unterwald, part of Frankfurt's city forest, which is a surprisingly green oasis right next to one of Europe's busiest transport hubs.
From the starting point at the long-distance railway station, the trail leads over the footbridges out of the airport infrastructure and directly into the dense stands of old oak, beech and pine trees. A particular highlight is the proximity to the airport site, where aeroplanes taking off and landing in clear wooded areas can be watched.
