Nature & culture

Come rain or sunshine – there is always something interesting to explore!

Rüsselsheim and the surrounding area offer a variety of attractive places to visit. Centrally located you will find “Verna Park“ which provides fun and entertainment for the whole family: Play a round of mini golf, let your kids have a fantastic time in the playground and finally take a closer look at the Park's impressive aviary. Or would you rather like to visit the popular festival “Kultur im Sommer“ (Culture at summer)? Verna Park with its late Romanesque flair will provide unforgettable moments for you!

A stroll along the Main takes you to the Opelvillen Art Centre, which displays contemporary works by renowned artists. A few more steps and you will arrive at the city's fortress – over 600 years old and unique in Hesse!

Maybe now you're in the mood for a boat trip? From the new mooring the route leads you to Frankfurt or to Rüdesheim via

Mainz and Wiesbaden. Perhaps you'd like to view water from a different perspective? Dare to dive into the Waldschwimmbad (forest swimming pool) or "An der Lache" adventure pool where slides, sauna and solarium ensure that special summer feeling!
