From the castle, there is a funicular railway up to Königstuhl, 567m above sea level.
The view is breathtaking.

Approaching Frankfurt.
French high speed TGV duplex train is at Frankfurt. Operating a service to Paris.
From the beginning there were 3 stations in Frankfurt but it was decided to build a new one that would replace the 3.
The main station was opened 1888.
The old Frankfurt opera house in the background. Basically the railway station and opera house are the few important buildings restored after WW2 in Frankfurt.
The most familiar view of Frankfurt includes its sky scrapes.
