Lots of renaturalized areas... all kinds of nature conservation on salt marshes... ornithologists have a lot to marvel at here

The Nidder rises in the Vogelsberg near the Herchenhainer Höhe. It is 68.8 km long and flows into the Nidda near Bad Vilbel-Gronau. It flows down the slopes from the forests of the Vogelsberg basalt massif and only calms down in the lowlands of the Wetterau.
In front of it, it feeds the Lißberg hydroelectric power station with a large compensation basin in Hirzenhain. In the Nidderauen everything is flat - fields, orchards and pastures replace the forests. The Niddertal has been used by people for centuries. This resulted in the introduction of many animal and plant species that have become rare today.
This highlight is part of the nature trail around Glauberg - from the Celtic treasure to the natural treasures of the Nidderauen of NaturFreunde Hessen: komoot.de/tour/1384117471

The Nidda floodplains are managed using Heck cattle. Countless storks also breed here in dead trees and on stilts.
