The Wetteraukreis is a special area in the middle of Hesse, Germany. It's like a county or region, and it's known for its beautiful landscapes and many towns.

This district is located between two interesting natural areas. To one side, you'll find the Taunus mountains. On the other side, there's the Vogelsberg mountain, which is actually an old volcano. Two important rivers flow through the Wetteraukreis: the Nidda River and the Wetter River.
