Living in the heart of Schotten

Schot­ten, town on the green volcano. In the heart of the Vogels­berg volca­nic region lies the over 650-year-old town of Schot­ten with its 14 districts, surroun­ded by lush meadows, deep green forests and the typi­cal Vogel­berg hedge­row land­scape. The medieval town center, which was built between the 14th and 18th centu­ries, invi­tes you to linger with its lovin­gly reno­va­ted half-timbe­red houses, small alley­ways and well-tended parks. Toge­ther with the local recrea­tion area at the Nidda reser­voir and the Hohe­rodskopf adven­ture moun­tain, Schot­ten offers a wide range of leisure acti­vi­ties for water sports enthu­si­asts, hikers, cyclists and moun­tain bikers alike. Varied hiking and cycling trails lead you through the idyl­lic land­scape of the Vogels­berg with its meadows and forests, over volca­nic rock and rolling hills. Ideal for rela­xing trave­lers and active vaca­tio­ners alike.

With its unique loca­tion in the beau­tiful Vogels­berg district in the imme­diate vici­nity of Hohe­rodskopf and not far from the metro­po­lis of Frank­furt and the pictures­que towns of Wetz­lar and Marburg, Schot­ten is the perfect place to live. The idyl­lic half-timbe­red archi­tec­ture of the town center and nume­rous shop­ping oppor­tu­ni­ties make Schot­ten a place worth living in. In addi­tion to hiking trails, many sights and natu­ral monu­ments, the surroun­ding area invi­tes you to linger.
