Beautiful route for running, cycling or walking. Always nice along the Nidda. The asphalt is in great condition. When the weather is nice and on the weekends it can get very busy. If you are cycling, you should be very careful, as there are also a lot of people walking their dogs. Other than that, just enjoy the scenery ☀️
