      Schillerplatz, Mainz

      11. april 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      After exploring the church we made our way to Schillerplatz, one of the most beautiful squares in Mainz. Surrounded by protected buildings and a small oasis of green, it features a statue of Friedrich Schiller (German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright) that was erected in 1862, and Fasnachtsbrunnen, the Mainz Carnival fountain.

      The Mainz Carnival (Fasching) Fountain was erected in 1967.  Created by Blasius Spreng, the nine metre high bronze fountain has more than 200 figures on it. Fasching is known as the "Fifth Season", and it begins each year on 11 November at 11:11 a.m. at the Fasching Fountain, and finishes on Ash Wednesday with the main festivities happening around Rosenmontag.

      The fountain is fascinating, with so many different figures to look at and admire, and with water shooting out from so many different places, it is a very interesting centrepiece. We decided to sit in the square and enjoy a drink while admiring the fountain, before hitting the road again for Cochem.

      Mainz is a town I wish I knew more about when planning this trip as I would have made sure we had a couple of days to really enjoy it.      Les mer

      Mainz, Germany

      11. april 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      We farewelled Miltenberg and hit the road to our next stop. Who knew an hour and fifteen minute drive would take almost double that time. With a large truck on fire on the autobahn and us taking the wrong ring roads three different times, it seemed like we had been driving forever by the time we made it to Mainz. We are just hoping there were no cameras for the red light Brad mistakenly drove through. It was not a fun driving day.

      However Mainz lifted our spirits. Being the largest and capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, it didn’t have that big town feel which was very surprising. Situated on the Rhine River, it is known for its old town, with half-timbered houses and medieval market squares.

      Mainz was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC as a military fortress and is famous as the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of a movable-type printing press, who in the early 1450s manufactured his first books in the city, including the Gutenberg Bible. Mainz was heavily damaged in World War II; with more than 30 air raids destroying most of the historic buildings in the city centre, but many were rebuilt post war.

      This is one town we wish we had more time to explore. There was so much to see and such little time. We wandered the market square, admiring the decorative buildings, the spring time flowers and Easter displays, the historic buildings and soaring cathedral. Sadly the Cathedral was closed so we were unable to peak inside.      Les mer

      Mainz - Magonza

      15. august 2022, Tyskland ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      Da Karlsruhe ci dirigiamo verso Magonza, capitale della Renania-Palatinato. Arriviamo in hotel, The Niu Mood. Non è affatto male, ma la posizione è un po' scomoda per muoversi a piedi: 20 minuti dal centro. Dopo il check-in usciamo per visitare la città, ma inizia a piovere e passeggiare sotto la pioggia non è il massimo.
      Per fortuna il brutto tempo dura poco ed il resto della giornata ci regala un tempo splendido che ci accompagna nella visita di questa meravigliosa città tedesca.
      Iniziamo la visita da Marktbrunnen, la grandissima piazza principale con al centro una splendida fontana rinascimentale e tutto attorno antichi edifici.
      Proseguiamo con la visita del Duomo di Magonza, una maestosa cattedrale gotica. Passeggiamo verso il centro storico che vanta antiche e pittoresche strade, come Augustinerstrasse e Kirschgarten, ricche di case a graticcio dalle facciate rococò rinascimentali. Il centro è ricco di bar con i tavolini all’aperto e ristoranti. Ci fermiamo a bere una buonissima limonata con foglie di menta al JAMY`S Burger Mainz.
      Tornando verso l'hotel fotografiamo il famoso museo Gutenberg, il museo della stampa, delle tecniche dell’editoria e delle invenzioni annesse.
      Per cena preferiamo non allontanarci troppo dall'albergo e troviamo un ristorante caratteristico che propone specialità tedesche, il "Bei Helga". Prendiamo un curry Wrust e delle polpette.      Les mer

      Mainz by day

      16. juli 2022, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      We pondered whether to stay in Mainz today as it was to be the site of a far-right rally and an anti-far right rally in response. The police presence was huge (and had been the night before), but we wanted to see the Gutenberg Museum so we stored our luggage at the hotel and wandered in.

      Grabbing a sandwich for breakfast, we wandered to the Rhine to eat in the baking morning sunshine. This meant wandering through the Saturday Market, already in full swing under the shadow of the beautiful pink cathedral.

      The Gutenberg Museum was incredible. Over four floors covering the development of the printing press, development of calligraphy, printing around the world and included original Gutenberg bibles. There was even a demonstration of the press in action.

      We wandered across the Market Square and into the cathedral which was cavernous but beautiful with the sun streaming through the windows. Finally, we walked to the Kirschgarten old town, before heading back for our kit and a train to Mannheim.

      On the way, we passed the rallies, which were now in full swing and the police everywhere. We avoided getting caught up in them but read later that the police had had to use pepper spray...yikes!

      Mainz by night

      15. juli 2022, Tyskland ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

      From Koblenz we travelled the picturesque, UNESCO, Rhine Valley. Lined with hills and cliff-top perched castles on both sides, it was beautiful to see out the window. It was also, however, the first train we had to stand on.

      We arrived into Mainz in the early evening and checked into our hotel near the station. After a long day walking, we tossed up whether walking to the main town was doable but ultimately the lure of dinner drew us in. About a 15 minute walk put us in the main town, where we grabbed some sushi before wandering down towards the Rhine passed the Natural History Museum's big display of rocks, which B very much enjoyed! At the Rhine we were treated to a beautiful sunset over the bridge.      Les mer

      Etappe 5 Frankfurt -Mainz 45 Km + 10 🥹

      15. august 2022, Tyskland ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Ungewöhnliches Bild draussen: das erste Mal scheint die Sonne nicht (obwohl sie sich unterwegs ab und zu gezeigt hat). Únd ungewöhnlich Gegenwind 💨: konnte schon ein wenig für 🇳🇱 trainieren, weil da erwarte ich die letzten 3 Etappen Gegenwind.
      Man sagt ja der Weg ist das Ziel weil Heute habe ich mich ordentlich verfahren und 10 Km plus gemacht. Weil die ursprüngliche Distanz 45 Km war nicht so schlimm aber es kommen noch Strecken von 80 Km und mehr und da darf mich das nicht passieren.

      Jetzt angekommen in Mainz und als ich beim Hotel das Fahrrad abgeschlossen habe, fielen die ersten Tropfen 💦👊.

      Wenn ich mich ausgeruht habe und es nicht zu stark regnet, werde ich mich die Stadt mal anschauen.      Les mer

      Day 4

      3. juni 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      The mornings trip down the Rhine was amazing, the view from our room was beyond words. Jen went up to the top deck to the walking track and stayed in bed as I had a bad night with my Colitis. I got up around 9.30 and had a later breakfast and then met Jen on the top deck to watch the world go by. We arrived at Rudesheim at 12.30, disembarked at 1.00 to star our tour. Jen & I both did the walk through the vineyards. Well no one told us it was at the top of a massive hill and there was a monument at the top. The walk nearly killed me but we made it to a restaurant at the top to have a glass Reisling. I was so hot I could even drink the wine. We the walked up to the monument and then up further to the cable cars, which they call gondolas for the trip down. There was Christmas shop at the bottom so we did a bit of shopping but not too much as it was so expensive. We then walked back to boat to leave again at 4.00.Les mer
