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 (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

Today, due to the good weather🌤️, we decided at short notice to hike the circular trail⬆️🔄 on the Hoherodskopf🌋. vogelsberg-touristik.de/detail/id=6596af18af38ae88b43f0648
The starting point was the free hiking car park🅿️ near the dinosaur🦖. The paths were almost always easy to walk👍🏻. Since we started early🕙🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏼‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏼‍➡️, the crowds were very manageable 😊.
