Niedwald

The Niedwald covers an area where hardwood trees, including oak, hornbeam, ash, and maple trees, create a natural environment within Frankfurt.

The area contains remnants of a Roman relay station called Heidenschloss, which provided accommodation and horse changes along the Via Regia trade route.

The forest serves as an environmental education site where local associations conduct nature conservation projects and community activities throughout the year.

The forest features unpaved, level walking paths and riding trails, with multiple entry points accessible through public transportation from central Frankfurt.

Some oak trees within Niedwald reach an age of 250 years, standing as dominant features among the diverse plant species of this hardwood floodplain forest.
