I never realised that listen and silent are anagrams. And doesn’t this quiet river bend just beg one to be silent and listen?

All the more remarkable because this is in the middle of Frankfurt, a city with three quarters of a million inhabitants, in a part called Bonames. The name goes back to Roman times, probably meaning that there was a bona mansio, a good wayside inn when a Roman highroad led past the area. Not far from this idyllic stretch of the river Nidda was the old Frankfurt airport which was used until 1992 as a helicopter airport by the US American army.
