Nidderauen von Stockheim Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

View of Lißberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle was probably built in the 12th century by the "Lords of Liebesberg", who were first mentioned in documents in 1222. The castle is located on a hill that may have been the end of a former lava flow. The round keep with its conical tip is visible from afar. It is affectionately nicknamed the "Lißberger Krautfass" by locals. From above, the view sweeps far over the village and the Nidder.
The castle complex presents visitors with a high shield wall three meters thick that closes off the complex to the northeast. The entrance to the Zwinger, which was secured with a moat and drawbridge until the 18th century, is at the southeast end of the wall. Through the Zwinger you come to the wide forecourt in the south of the castle complex, where the tithe barn and granaries used to stand.
Another archway leads into the actual castle courtyard, which is almost trapezoidal in shape. The former castle buildings have fallen into disrepair, only the massive tower with a diameter of nine meters and a height of 27 meters is well preserved. Its wall is about three and a half meters thick. The staircase runs through the walls to the top of the tower. The entrance to the tower is nine meters high. Originally it could only be reached via a drawbridge from the residential building that was attached to the shield wall. After this building collapsed in 1824, an external staircase was added to the tower in 1865. The Lißberg community hall is now located on the site of the old residential building.
The castle grounds are freely accessible.
