Kaiser Brucke

Between Mainz and Wiesbaden, is the Kaiser Brucke (Bridge).....originally built around 1904 and is the bridge which carries rail traffic between the two cities.

You can actually walk over the hundred-year old bridge.....there'a pedestrian area on the one side of the bridge for walkers and bikers.

Looking for it?  If you find the Schiersteiner Bridge on the map at one end of town....this is a half-mile east of the bridge.

Million-dollar view from the bridge and you actually cross over to Wiesbaden.....turn right....go up to the next bridge (30-minute walk) and cross back over to Mainz, then walk for thirty minutes and return to the same point where you started from.

One note, NO....you can't climb down the stairs to the island in the middle of the bridge (DAS IS VERBOTTEN).  Yes, there's a stairway on both sides of the river and bikes are ok for use on the bridge.
