Naturschutzgebiet Sinnwiesen von Altengronau

The Sinnwiesen von Altengronau encompasses 72.57 hectares of natural terrain along the Sinn River, featuring meadows and diverse water bodies at 220 meters above sea level.

The area received its protected status in the late 1980s after scientific studies revealed the presence of endangered species requiring immediate conservation measures.

Naturschutzgebiet Sinnwiesen serves as an educational site where visitors learn about local ecosystems through designated paths and observation points throughout the reserve.

Visitors can access multiple hiking routes from Altengronau, with trails ranging from 4 kilometers to 20 kilometers connecting to the Hessischer Radfernweg R2 bicycle path.

The reserve contains one of Germany's two locations where snake's head fritillaries naturally grow, making it a critical habitat for this endangered flower species.
