Literary mention
Jamal Tuschick wrote about the Fuldaaue:
“During a federal horticultural show, an area on the Fulda was opened up that had served children from Bettenghausen and Waldau as the Wild West. Where a branch of the Fulda cuts a peninsula out of the Waldauer Ufer, there was a nudist zone, I think it was also a disabled sports facility. "
