Excursion Destinations
If you like spending time in lush green surroundings you will be sure to have a great time in Frankfurt. The Taunus, a low mountain range at Frankfurt's doorstep, is just perfect for short day trips. Another low mountain range, the Spessart, is about 45 min east of Frankfurt. The river Lahn is about the same distance to the north, where you can embark on beautiful canoeing trips. Only 30 min. to the west by car and you will reach the beginnings of the Rheingau, the world famous wine growing area along the river Rhein.
