Nidda

The Nidda River stretches 90 kilometers from the Vogelsberg Mountains through multiple towns before connecting with the Main River at Frankfurt.

During the 1920s and 1960s, engineers modified the river's structure by straightening its course and deepening the riverbed to reduce flooding risks.

The river connects numerous towns and villages, serving as a central element for local festivals and community gatherings throughout the Hesse region.

A dedicated bicycle path extends along the river banks, providing direct access to towns between Schotten and Frankfurt for cyclists and pedestrians.

The 1,941 square kilometer basin includes several tributaries such as Michelbach, Läunsbach, Eichelbach, Horloff, and Wetter, forming an extensive water network.
