The Edersee is one of the largest dams in Germany. The namesake is the Fuldazufluss Eder, which comes from the Rothaargebirge from the west and fills the reservoir in the North Hessian Bergland near Korbach.

The cycle path is very pleasant to ride and leads directly along the lake or, when the water level is low, along the “cliff”.
