Three in one – an amazing new fossil discovery
The Messel Fossil Pit, situated in the Odenwald region close to Frankfurt, is already known for its fascinating array of incredibly well-preserved fossils, such as a prehistoric horse, insects, birds, and fish. But now they’ve even topped themselves with a stunning new discovery: A perfectly preserved “fossil food chain”, only the second of its kind in the world ever to be found! At first glance, one would think the fossil is “just” a snake. But upon closer inspection, Messel researchers found a preserved lizard inside the stomach of the snake – and inside the stomach of the lizard were the preserved remains of its last meal: A small beetle! The Messel Pit is currently the only place on earth where guests can get an up-close look at this 48-million-year-old food chain, not to mention its amazing collection of fossils and wonderful visitor center. It’s a perfect excursion for the whole family! After all, the eyes of media outlets around the world are set on this amazing discovery – and yours should be, too!

Want to get robbed?
Of course, none of us would choose to get robbed if we had the choice – or would we? History tells us that the Spessart-Mainland region was once famous for its robberies as an area with little to no criminal prosecution due to various political situations; therefore, it wasn’t safe to travel through this area with valuable goods in tow. Today, a great highlight of the region is in fact an array of bookable “robberies”, including wine tastings and delicious food. A fun, thrilling experience that is truly one of a kind!
The booming Frankfurt Station District
Frankfurt’s station district is a place that is in a seemingly constant state of change. It is also a place with a great deal of flair, having been voted one of the “places to be” by no lesser publication than the New York Times. No other Frankfurt city district is as rich in color and contrast as the station district. It is, simply put, the beating heart of the city, a place where multiculturalism meets the hustle and bustle of a European metropolis. Exotic restaurants, international shops with a truly global flair as well as the station district’s “red-light industry” – this is an explosion of impressions!
There are bookable guided tours of the station district available. More information here.
