In the Nidderauen nature reserve near Stockheim, your gaze quickly wanders upwards. The white stork breeds in the crowns of the deadwood. Numerous stork families find their home here. Their impressive nests can be easily observed from the roadside. But lapwings, snipes, and tree frogs also share this species-rich area, which was placed under special protection as early as 1981. The course of the Nidder was partially renatured in 2005, and in the process, a wide network of still waters was created, serving as a retreat for resting birds.
