The Eder Railway Cycle Path runs from Buhlen near Affoldern to Korbach and vice versa. It's completely paved, with no significant incline. Former station buildings, bridges, and tunnels bear witness to and bear witness to the—sadly—long-gone railway era.

It's simply fascinating to see how large the lake can be. There are informative signs and a lonely willow tree in the riverbed.
