フォーゲルスベルク山地の山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

シュトックハイムのニダー川流域自然保護区では、視線はすぐに上へと向かいます。枯れ木の梢ではコウノトリが営巣しています。数多くのコウノトリの家族がここに住処を見つけています。道端からは、その堂々とした巣をよく観察することができます。しかし、タゲリ、シギ、そしてアマガエルも、1981年に特別保護下に置かれたこの種豊富な地域を共有しています。ニダー川の流れは2005年に部分的に自然再生され、その過程で、渡り鳥の隠れ家となる広大な静水域のネットワークが作られました。

A small, unassuming, but historic spring on the western slope of the Vogelsberg mountains. This is the source of the Nidda River, which flows for approximately 90 km before passing through Bad Vilbel and Frankfurt. An idyllic spot in the woods, usually quiet and surrounded by mossy greenery – perfect for a short break on your hike. 💧🌲

As long as the Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein remains closed, there's not much more to see from there. Otherwise, in my humble opinion, the highest point of the Sieben Ahorn isn't where the sign is.

A beautiful, idyllic place.

The Mehlbach pond, which has nothing to do with flour or mills, because it has too little water for a mill and has never powered one, is currently being renovated by Hessen Forst. The dam is being rebuilt. For those interested: The Mehlbach is actually called Molbach, which comes from the Middle High German expression mol and means newt, lizard. Fifty years ago the first syllable was pronounced short, i.e. Melbach, or even Mölbach. That is why the old cadastral maps of the Grand Duchy still say Molbach. It's a bit of a shame that the original name has been parodied here out of ignorance. See the Lagis-Hessen State Archives for more information! I've attached a map section to the pictures. It used to be one of the ponds that had to supply the fish, when meat was still Sunday food.

At present, the pond is quite close to the state of the legend and not very attractive

To what extent this shelter is freely usable, you should perhaps inquire in advance with a city administration… Beautiful spot on earth
