Gackerstein Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

It doesn't look like a peak at all, more like a hill. The climb coming from the Hoherodskopf is hardly noticeable. A very beautiful place with a great view of the Hoherodskopf with seating and an information board.

Wildsau Trail (Vogelsberg Arena)

Highlight • MTB Park

Here a rooty section of the approximately 14 kilometer long “Wildsautrail” runs parallel to the L3291 over a longer area.
Unfortunately, once again only a single point on the route was marked 😏

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.

June 8, 2023,MTB(S) Vogelsberg/Hoherodskopf - Wildsautrail-Runde vom Vogelpark

Start at the bird park and from there drive to the trail to Rüdingshain.
From there nice climb partly on single trails to Hoherodskopf. Then in the direction of the valley in the upper section on a beautiful root trail, in the lower section unfunny elevation gain on a wide forestry path...
