The Große Nister (often simply called Nister) is a nearly 64-kilometer-long left tributary of the Sieg in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is considered one of the landscape-defining main rivers of the Westerwald. East of Wissen (near Nisterbrück), it finally flows into the Sieg.

Since there is no catering, vending machines have been set up to the left of the station, from which you can get snacks, drinks, and ice cream.

The bridge was renovated voluntarily by the villagers through their own efforts.
