    Nidda Old Weir (1920) - Frankfurt/Höchst 🚴‍♂️

    The old weir from 1920, used to regulate the Nidda, no longer has a crossing and has since been demolished except for one tower.
    As part of the Nidda River restoration and the dismantling of the old Nidda weir, rapids and calm areas have emerged in this section of the river. Fish can now ascend from the Main into the Nidda because the weir is no longer there. Fish can spawn in gravel banks, and various perennials and shrubs grow along the banks without having been specifically planted. The work also includes a newly built pedestrian bridge and 600 meters of redesigned riverside path. 🚴‍♂️

      The Höchster weir is located on the Nidda between Nied and Höchst. Until 2013, there was a classic weir with flaps here. Since this weir was insurmountable for fish, it was converted into a weir, which allows fish to migrate effortlessly and offers them new habitats. Some species of fish lay their spawn here and do not want to be disturbed by swimming people or dogs.
