Overflow Funnel at Nidda Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

...if you pull it out, the reservoir drains, just like the Baltic Sea near Fehmarn when you pull the Baltic plug there. 😉😂
You can tell it to small children …

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here there is a great view of the lake. The water level testifies to low water level due to lack of precipitation. So far, only a third of the …

Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) at the Niddastausee reservoir

Highlight • Natural Monument

Mountain sequoias are the largest tree species in the world!
But this tree here needs a little more time to grow 😉

August 26, 2021,Zur Niddertalsperre und einmal rund herum

Today we went from Schotten Rainrod to the Niddatalsperre and back. Tomorrow there will be a rock concert at the Niddatalsperre. There are some nature reserves at the Niddatalsperre. Lots of different birds 🦢. Today we benefited from the interesting clouds. Pretty environment. It is also easy to get around by bike 🚲 or with a dog or a customer …

April 24, 2022,Schotten - Nidda Stausee 🏄‍♂️⛵️🦆

I saw a wingfoiler in action for the first time on the reservoir. An interesting way to move across the water.

Wingfoiling is a new water sport that combines different types of surfing. With the help of the foilboard and the wing (wing), the athlete glides over the water.

May 1, 2022,Schotten-Rainrod: Niddastausee

At the end of the seminar weekend we walked around the Niddastausee on the day of departure. Unfortunately, the path was asphalt only. In addition, there were the usual excesses (carts, alcohol and rolling discos) on May 1st near the campsite. Ok, but the landscape gave everything for that and it didn't rain either.

April 1, 2024,☔️NIDDASTAUSEE💦

The Nidda rises at Hoherodskopf, flows through Schotten in a small stream and is stopped by the Niddatalsperre directly at the southern end of the town. The result is the 65 hectare Nidda reservoir and a wonderful local recreation area. Surrounded by meadows and forests, the reservoir is one of the largest lakes in Hesse. The recreational lake is a …

August 5, 2025,Und wieder ruft der Stausee 🤩

Hello Komootlers, have a great week together!
After a completely rainy morning, an idea 💡 from my wife 🚺 came to fruition: we'll drive to the Niddastausee and take a ride.
No sooner said than done, and off we went.
Have a great time together 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️👍🥾

March 17, 2023,Abschlussspaziergang um den Niddastausee

End of my holiday or hiking week. And everything without a backpack 🎒 is just a walk. 😂 A lap around the reservoir is possible in any weather, as the circular route is paved. When the weather is good, however, there are also plenty of skaters and cyclists out and about, sometimes at a rapid pace, so be careful!
