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.

Sorry, but the source indicated here with a sign is NOT the correct Nidda source !!! The sign only marks a place of constant flow of the still young Nidda.
The actual source of the Nidda is the nearby "Landgrafenborn". Info tip:

The Nidda rises from a raised bog north of the Taufstein and southeast of the Sieben Ahorn at an altitude of around 720 m above sea level. The source area is near the Niddaquelle hiking car park on the Hoher Vogelsberg ring road.
The water does not bubble from the spring here, but it flows.
The point on the watercourse designated as the Niddaquelle was originally actually a spring in the true sense of the word. Today, this point marks more of an arbitrary point on the still young stream with a steady flow: At most times of the year, the water can be followed a few hundred meters further uphill through the raised bog.
Above the actual source, near a crossroads, there is a small well outlet. Parts of this stream flow out of the stream bed early on - not untypical for a raised bog - and flow into other streams.
