View of Lake Edersee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, due to the geographical location, there is not always much to see of the lake.
The bike path runs close to the shore, but mostly a few (10-15 m) higher with vegetation in between.

Gravel Path With View of Edersee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

really great gravel section, which demands a lot from you without a motor.
Gets nice and warm in summer due to the hillside location. Relatively even gradient, few surprises, hardly any traffic and "relatively wild". Slightly traily

Unfortunately the program failed on the way!

Once around the Edersee was about 51 km.

The actual driving time was 2 hours 40 minutes at an average speed of 19 km/h.

I'll try it again!!

I'm doing an overnight stay at the Edersee and have also found a great spot for freestanding camping.
Today I cycled around the Edersee. It's a really great route.
I took the route from Komoot. Here, near Scheid, a shortcut is taken that is partly pointless because it really isn't intended for cycling. The official cycle path takes you along …

The trip around the Edersee had been on my plan for a long time. So it was then carried out with a great break at the dam wall with a trip on a house raft with our friends. 😃
The low level of the Edersee also has its own special charm. The last few times I've only been here when …
