Seating with views to the 50 km away Taunus.
Information board with the places to be seen.
However, the specified "Winterberg" is the Steinkopf with its telecommunications tower, which even some locals consider the adjacent Winterstein.

Sun on my face, voices of familiar faces heard from afar immediately this familiar feeling. Today I went with a Meet5 group on the NaturTour Nidda. Greetings, hugs, first jokes you are right in the middle of it. I already knew most of them, and that's what makes days like this so special for me.
