Nidda Spring

Highlight • River

If you want to know where the Nidda originates before it eventually flows into the Main, this is the place to go. It's also a great place to take a break.

Geiselstein rock formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Geiselstein is like the baptismal font a geotope. Geologically, it is a gangue breakthrough of basanite with high magnetic content. As a result, the compass suddenly loses its orientation …

Geiselstein (the Vogelsberg’s North Pole)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The 720m high Geiselstein is magnetic. The compass needle can be strongly deflected near it. To do this, hold a compass to the rock at the summit... hence the name: North Pole of the Vogelsberg
