High Vogelsberg Nature Park

It covers the region of eleven rings around Oberwald, the central part of the mountain range, certain municipalities in the counties of Vogelsbergkreis, Wetteraukreis, Gießen and Main-Kinzig-Kreis.

The park has an area of 883.36 km² and is thus roughly as large as the capital city of Berlin.

The nature park is characterised by mixed forest, grassland and wetland biotopes as well as a raised bog.

The German holiday route from the Alps to the Baltic runs through the middle of the park.

The High Vogelsberg has cultural-historical significance as a result of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.
