Schotten Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

@Kristof: Schotten is the first larger town on the Nidda cycle path ... but that does not apply if you come from the RheinMain area 😎

Upper Trout Pond (Upper Nidda Valley)

Highlight • Lake

Very idyllic place for bikers and hikers. In hot weather, it can be in the shade very well and you can recover from the climb (via foot or MTB). It is not far to the top of the Hoherodskopf.

Forest Path to the Nidda Spring

Highlight • Trail

Here is a beautiful forest path that you can enjoy by bike or on foot.
I rode it from the car park to behind the Niddaquelle, but it could certainly be extended much further.

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.
