Gentle hills, extensive meadows and damp pastures – with over 220 hectares, the nature reserve "Im Rußland und in der Kuhweide bei Lindheim" is the largest nature reserve in the Wetteraukreis district. The Lindheim NABU group has been looking after the area since 1973. The Great Curlew has one of its last remaining populations here in all of Hesse, and the White Stork, Corn Crake, and Greylag Goose also find protection in the created small bodies of water and renatured sections.

If you're pedaling hard or your feet are burning in your hiking boots, a short break in the Wassertretbecken (water-treading pool) in Lißberg is worthwhile. The facility is the result of real community effort. Many helpers, patrons, and the municipal building yard contributed to its construction. Many materials were second-hand and found a new purpose here in the spirit of sustainability. The foot and arm basin is fed by a spring whose water temperature is between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius year-round – cool enough to get tired legs going again in the summer months.

The Catholic Church of the Annunciation in Heldenbergen, a district of Nidderau in the Main-Kinzig district of Hesse, is a listed Baroque hall church. Built between 1751 and 1754, the building features a cupola-topped spire and a recessed five-eighths apse and boasts rich furnishings. (Wikipedia) Currently, however, it is scaffolded due to renovation work.
