Beautiful fish pond, great landscape, easy H circular route

Good view over the raised moor, beautiful circular route marked H 👍

Beautiful path around the moor… relaxation for mind and soul in my opinion… and stay on the path

From the looks of things, the tower seems to have been left to its own devices... if something doesn't happen soon, it will be demolished... which would be a real shame

Once a reservoir for floating wood, then a trout farm and now a nature reserve. An idyllic spot on earth.

Spacious shelter with seating inside and snack area including table outside not far from the Niddaquelle

The Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein marks the highest point in the Vogelsberg Nature Park. The 28-meter-high observation tower was built between 1906 and 1910 and there are 101 steps inside that lead up to the top. When visibility is good, the Bismarck Tower offers an excellent panoramic view of the neighboring Hoherodskopf and the adjacent low mountain ranges. Unfortunately, the Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein, built from blue basalt, has suffered massive structural damage. A safe visit to the tower is therefore no longer guaranteed. The immediate area around the tower on the small plateau of the highest elevation of the Vogelsberg has therefore been cordoned off with a fence for some time. The climb to this impressive building is nevertheless worthwhile because it is somehow a mystical place and, like the other Bismarck Towers in Germany, a historical monument that should definitely be preserved and restored. Future generations will thank us later. http://www.vogelsbergtourist.de/bismarckturm-taufstein.html

The Nidda rises from a raised moor north of the baptismal font and southeast of the Sieben Ahorn at an altitude of around 720 m above sea level. NN. The source area is near the Niddaquelle hiking car park on the Hoher Vogelsberg ring road. The water doesn't bubble out of the spring here, but it flows. The point on the watercourse designated as the Nidda spring was originally actually a spring in the true sense. Today, this point marks a rather arbitrary spot 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 moor. Above the actual spring, near a crossroads, there is an enclosed outlet from a small well room. Parts of this stream flow out of the stream bed early on - not untypical for a raised moor - and flow into other streams. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidda_(River)
