Niddaknie

Highlight • River

At the so-called Nidda knee you can take a look at the exemplary Nidda renaturation. After just a short time, the natural habitat here began to decline. Many species of fish and even kingfishers, beavers and the European pond turtle have made their home there again.

Bird's Nest

Highlight • Rest Area

Next to the Nidda cycle path, a shallow water pond with variable humidity was created that serves as a spawning ground for tree frogs and green toads. You can easily observe the goings-on there from the Vogelnest rest area.
