The Nidda Reservoir - in the summer a dream for hikers, skaters and cyclists. The great snack bar on the banks of the reservoir invites you to take a break. Here you should definitely try Leberkäs with fried eggs and homemade potato salad.

The dam will be completely renovated this year, ie the sea side of the dam, which consists of an asphalt waterproofing, will be completely renewed. After more than 47 years after the completion of the dam, it was time to fundamentally renew the entire surface. But that also means that there will be no bathing at Niddastausee this year.

Very nice tour along the Nidda. The view of the lake is the reward for the last climb.

The Nidda rises at Hoherodskopf, flows through Schotten in a small stream and is stopped by the Niddatalsperre directly at the southern end of the town. The result is the 65 hectare Niddastausee and a wonderful local recreation area. Surrounded by meadows and forests, the reservoir is one of the largest lakes in Hesse. The recreational lake is a popular meeting place for athletes, weekend trippers, anglers, walkers and those looking for relaxation. Boat rentals, surfing and sailing schools, a large children's playground and sunny meadows provide variety.

The reservoir is conveniently located for many tours in western Vogelsberg
On tours to the Hoherodskopf he is z. E.g. in summer a refreshing cool down

The reservoir is always beautiful to look at. A circumnavigation is also recommended in cloudy weather. Easy to drive, run or hike.

A bike tour along the Nidda with the destination of the reservoir and nearby Schotten is one of my favorite routes.
