Frankfurt - 18 stops - par 55

Banking a ball off the stone facades of the Städel Museum requires a steady wing and a bit of luck. This full round of 18 holes follows the real streets of Frankfurt am Main, where the city map is the course. The holes are built directly from the local attractions, and the ball travels 10.7 km across the pavement. With 80 portals to skip between districts, Skip is the local guide who knows every crack in the sidewalk.

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

THE FRANKFURT ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Städel Museum

This is not a private gallery, but a nonprofit organization. The Städel Museum is an art museum founded in 1816 and designed by architect Oskar Sommer. You can find it located at the Museumsufer on the Sachsenhausen bank of the River Main. It is recognized as a Kulturdenkmal, making it a significant stop for anyone visiting the riverbank. I always think the walk along the water is the best way to arrive here, and the building itself is a wonderful sight to see as you approach the river's edge.

It was commissioned by Prince Anselm Franz von Thurn und Taxis, who served as the Imperial Postmaster and lived from 1714 to 1739. The building was constructed between 1731 and 1739.
