Nidda Spring

Highlight • River

If you want to know where the Nidda originates before it eventually flows into the Main, this is the place to go. It's also a great place to take a break.

Geiselstein (the Vogelsberg’s North Pole)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The 720m high Geiselstein is magnetic. The compass needle can be strongly deflected near it. To do this, hold a compass to the rock at the summit... hence the name: North Pole of the Vogelsberg

Beautiful tour with lots of forest and meadow paths. Recommendation: definitely have a bratwurst at the Hoherodskopf bratwurst stand. Great view from Hoherodskopf, in good conditions as far as Frankfurt, Feldberg, etc.
When the weather is nice and on Sundays and public holidays it is of course very busy. Playground, climbing garden, summer toboggan run, etc. everything is there
