Guided Story

You're standing at the highest point in Offenbach am Main, on Schneckenberg. Rising to 166 meters, this prominent hill is an extension of the Bieberer Berg and marks the southern edge of the Main Valley. Look to the east, and you'll see how the ridge stretches towards Sachsenhäuser Berg. Once known as Deponie Grix, Schneckenberg now serves a new purpose as a natural retreat. West of here, the Rodau-Bieberbach lowland begins, adding a gentle contrast to the landscape. Take a moment to appreciate these rolling heights, which once defined the region's boundary.
