More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You taxi toward the grass runway as the pilot runs through a calm checklist; seconds later the city shrinks and the Rhine asserts itself below, a silver ribbon daring you to follow. From a low-wing private plane the MedienHafen’s modern cranes and the compact roofs of the old town read like a map, while canals cut geometric lines through neighborhoods and the airport hum fades beneath you.
