The Nidda meadows from Bad Vilbel to Karben are an important breeding and retreat area for the flora and fauna. To protect the rare species such as lapwing and short-eared owl, from 1 March a ban on entry.

It's a very beautiful, secluded spot. The Nidder estuary is a great place to rest.

Artistic Wooden Loungers and Nest Sculpture near Gronauer Hof

Highlight • Structure

The Gronauer Hof is about 700 m south of this point. The single settlement, first mentioned in 1354, was owned by the Ibenstadt monastery until it was sold to a Frankfurt citizen during the Thirty Years' War. In 1691, Count Philipp Reinhard von Hanau- Münzenberg acquired the farm, and in 1736 the estate passed into the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel. By 1850, the Gronauer Hof had developed into one of the most lucrative estates in the Hessian state thanks to the extensive meadows. With the end of Kurhessen in 1866, the estate became a Prussian state domain and was placed under the administration of the Ministry of Agriculture in Berlin. In 2007, the city of Bad Vilbel acquired the Gronauer Hof from the state of Hesse. Part of the land was used to expand the landscape protection area "Auenverbund Wetterau" and for the renaturation of the Nidda.

Nidda River Restoration

Highlight • River

In the spring of 2001, the renaturation work at this point on the Nidda was completed. The old gravel deposits were uncovered during the construction work. From now on, the Nidda could shape its own riverbed and push the gravel into the renatured areas. This process was of decisive importance for the water ecology. The water bed had changed completely after the first flood. Valuable gravel banks were created. Schools of juvenile barbel and nase have since been encountered again. Trees have grown again and the herbaceous vegetation along the banks has developed well. After just a few years, the building interventions were no longer discernible. Kingfishers and dippers have accepted the renatured habitat.
