PARKLANDS

Four park areas line up along the Nidda, uniting to form a green belt through the entire city. The individual areas could hardly be more diverse, which is precisely what makes a visit and a stroll so interesting.

The Kurgarten (04), located in the far west on the right bank of the Nidda, was only created in 2022 and represents a modern interpretation of a former spa area. The subsequent, listed Kurpark (03) was laid out in the first half of the 1930s, while the Burgpark (01) was created in the 1970s during a Nidda regulation. Formal basic principles with strict lines in the path layout and artificially created and constantly replanted flowerbeds in the Kurpark, contrast with the Burgpark’s design, which is as close to nature as possible, featuring sightlines and loosely structured, natural-looking groups of trees with noteworthy tree populations.
