Nidda Reservoir (Niddastausee)

The Niddastausee is beautifully located, the circular hike is easy to walk and there is a nice bistro at the campsite for a break.

The Nidda Reservoir - in the summer a dream for hikers, skaters and cyclists. The great snack bar on the banks of the reservoir invites you to take a break. Here you should definitely try Leberkäs with fried eggs and homemade potato salad.

What weather, cycling couldn't be more beautiful.
We met the Rothbarths at the reservoir, what a coincidence. We highly recommend this tour.

If you were to ask me where the Niddaweg is most beautiful, I would say the route from Bad Vilbel to Florstadt. But tastes are known to be different 😆

To the after-work market in Schotten.
I thought they'd also sell local fruit and vegetables there.
But it was more of a see-and-be-seen event.
But the tour was nice.
