April 23, 2026, Stream Crossing in Krebsbachtal bei Kaichen

After a spot was found to cross the stream, the next "challenge" came: knee-high nettles (April 23, 2025) until a path was reached again.

The Wetterau European Bird Sanctuary north of Frankfurt am Main was created by merging several nature reserves and Habitats Directive areas. The Wetterau is Hesse's most important breeding area for waterfowl, waders, and meadow birds, and even the only breeding area in Hesse for northern pintail and red-necked grebe.

The Friedberg district of Ockstadt is known far beyond the region's borders for its cherries. Over 40,000 cherry trees grow here, making it a true cherry paradise, which is especially worth exploring in spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. When there's a light breeze, you can almost feel like you're in Japan here – the veritable snowstorm of blossoms is in no way inferior to the famous Japanese cherry blossom season. Well protected from cold winds and late frosts, the cherry trees on the Taunus slopes around Ockstadt have always thrived – cherry cultivation has been practiced here since the late 18th century. Those with a sweet tooth are best off hiking here in summer, when the red fruits are sold everywhere.
