マイン・キンツィヒ・クライスでの 周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

The Kinzig is a river approximately 86 kilometers long. It rises in Sterbfritz, flows southwest through the Main-Kinzig district of Hesse, and flows into the Main from the right in Hanau. The Kinzig is a second-order river in low mountain ranges. It overcomes an elevation of 301 meters and has a bed gradient of 3.5 per thousand. The Kinzig's catchment area covers 1,058 square kilometers, and the calculated mean discharge (MQ) at the mouth of the Kinzig is 10.97 cubic meters per second. The Kinzig was first documented in 796 as "iuxta fluvium Kincihen." In 815, the name was written as "Chinzicha," around 900 as "Kincicha"/"Kinzicham," in 1364 as "Kinzige," in 1584 as "Kintzig," in 1607 as "Bintz," in 1681 as "Kintz," in 1716 as "Kins," in 1769 as "Kinzing," and in 1802 as "Kinzig." In the river's headwaters, there was the now-defunct village of Kinzig, mentioned in 815 as "Chirizichheimero." The village and river were often confused by monastery scribes at that time with "Chizzicha" (now Bad Kissingen), both of which were described as being located in the Saalegau. The name presumably derives from the ancient Celtic *ku̯anti̯o- meaning "flat hill, valley." The name was therefore derived from the mountainous region from which the Kinzig flows. Source: Wikipedia

The former town hall in what is now the Bad-Soden district was built in 173. Today, the registry office is located here.

From the dam you have a great view over the Kinzigsee! 🤩 #Kinzigsee #Dam #View #Nature #Hiking

From here you can take a beautiful cycle path via Ahl to Bad Soden-Salmünster.

From the dam you can take a nice little trail 🚴‍♂️ through the forest and along the Fulda-Frankfurt railway line towards Ahl.

There is a great view from the dam of the lake.

The reservoir, which is closer to Steinau than to Bad Soden-Salmünster, belongs to the spa town. In 2022 to 2024, a major inspection was carried out, which is due every 20 years. For this purpose, all the fish were fished out of the reservoir and relocated; there was talk of several tons. The inspection lasted over a year, during which the steel barrier gates were also replaced. Since this spring, it has been filled again and the new rest area with playground is once again attracting thousands of visitors, who can also go rowing or pedal boating. If the train and the A66 were not in the immediate vicinity, it would be a totally idyllic spot. You just have to block out the noise of passing trains and the rushing of the motorway. 😊🤷‍♂️

Now that there is water in the reservoir again, it is a wonderful sight.
