May 17, 2026, Rest Area with View of the Vogelschutzgebiet (Bird Sanctuary) in Naturpark Lahn-Dill-Bergland

Rest area with a great view of the lake. Animal lovers will also get their money's worth.

The Aartal reservoir was created in the 1990s for flood protection. It is mainly divided into 2 parts, with the forebay serving as a nature reserve. Thus, a huge protected area has been created here for all birds that like to stay in and around the water. Especially since the lake has the second largest water surface in Hesse.

Beautifully situated, Niederweidbach directly on the opposite bank. An almost romantic view of the town can be seen from here.

Here you have a good view of the fore-dam of the Aartalsee - an official bird sanctuary.
