The Nidder Estuary The Nidder also originates in the densely forested Vogelsberg Basalt Massif. In the lowlands, the floodplain is characterized by arable land, meadows, and pastures. Unlike the Nidda, the Nidder still flows in its original bed and has not been straightened. During the annual floods, it overflows its banks. Between Altenstadt, Nidderau, and Schöneck, it then forms a large lake district. The Nidder: Portrait of a River Length: 68.6 km Catchment Area: 436 km2 River System: Rhine Source: Herchenhainer Höhe in the Vogelsberg Mountains (653 m above sea level) Estuary: Gronau, Bad Vilbel district, into the Nidda (110 m above sea level) Elevation Difference: 543 m Source: Information board at the site
