Relaxing summer walk along the Mühlenwanderweg in Mühlheim
2025-06-29 10:30 - 16:00 (Europe/Berlin)
Pickwicks leaves its comfort zone for a hike into unknown territory…
This summer hike, led by René Hartmann, follows part of the Mühlenwanderweg, connecting the sites of numerous past and present mills in the town of Mühlheim, which is situated between Offenbach and Hanau. Starting at Mühlheim station, the route follows the Rodau and Bieber rivers to the Käsmühle restaurant, where we will stop for lunch. Afterwards, we will return to Mühlheim via a different route.
The total length of the hike is approximately 11 km on completely flat terrain, making it suitable for inexperienced walkers. However, since it will be late June, please remember to apply sunscreen and bring an adequate supply of water!
Due to railworks in the Offenbach S-Bahn tunnel, there are no direct trains from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof or the town centre. The best alternative is the S8 from Frankfurt Südbahnhof, which can be reached using the S1, S3–S6, U1–U3 and U8, as well as various tram and bus lines.
Meeting point 1:

Frankfurt Südbahnhof
10:45
Platform 8
to catch the 10:51 S8 towards Hanau Hauptbahnhof
(arriving in Mühlheim at 11:09).

Meeting point 2:

Outside Mühlheim station
(Google Maps link)
11:10

For our return journey to Frankfurt Süd, we plan to take the 14:53 S8 from Mühlheim, which runs every 30 minutes.

Weekend outing to Korbach and the Edersee reservoir
2025-09-20 09:00 - 2025-09-21 19:00
Fourteen years ago, Pickwicks visited the Edersee reservoir and its surroundings. Now, we are planning a slightly different weekend trip to the area in September.
Korbach is a quaint little town about two hours north of Frankfurt with many half-timbered houses in its historic centre and a well-preserved city wall. Nearby attractions include a visitor gold mine and the “Korbacher Spalte,” a 20-metre-deep cleft in the Earth’s surface which has yielded important fossil finds.
Korbach is about 45 minutes from the Edersee dam, so we plan to visit Korbach on the first day of the trip and then explore some of the Edersee attractions on the way back to Frankfurt on Sunday.
As of now, the plan comprises:
Day 1

Travel to Korbach by car pool and arrive around noon
Guided tour: “Within the Town Walls”
Underground tour of the visitor gold mine
Dinner.

Day 2
After breakfast, explore some of the Edersee attractions:

Reservoir dam visitor centre
Edersee (2-hour boat trip)
Visit the “Atlantis” sunken villages, which reappear at low water levels
Return to Frankfurt.

This is an outline itinerary which will have to be adapted according to weather conditions, the Edersee’s water level in September, and the interests of the participants.
Some people have already booked rooms at the Hotel Am Dalwigker Tor. If you would like to join this trip, we recommend making your own booking at this hotel; try the Hotel Waage.
Please send Bob an email to indicate which of the above programme items interest you most.
