Lakeside Trail at Edersee National Park

The bike path is very nice to ride, but be careful: in places it goes very steeply downhill next to the bike path.

Cycle path along Lake Edersee

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

September 6, 2023,Runde um den Edersee

A very strenuous but also very beautiful tour, with the best weather (approx. 28 degrees) and bright sunshine.

The view of the Edersee, even from above, was breathtaking, and I hope my photos of the dam turned out well. Definitely very impressive.

August 25, 2024,😃Edersee...landschaftlich wunderschön ...🌳🌲🌳....

Very beautiful route, always with the Edersee in view, lots of forest, rugged rock faces and idyllic bays 😃🌳
But the section from approx. 34.5 km to 37.5 km is very demanding, more suitable for mountain biking or hiking.😃

September 3, 2024,Fahrradtour Runde um den Edersee und Allfordernersee

The circuit around the Edersee leads along the edge of the forest a lot
and is also good to ride on warm days.
The circuit around the Allfoldernersee is only recommended to a limited extent, as the lower waterway is a nature reserve and many fallen trees 🌳 block the way.
This is certainly intentional.

July 31, 2024,Een werkelijk schitterende fietstocht om de Edersee

A truly beautiful route around the Edersee with many gravel paths that were great for cycling. Unfortunately I made the wrong choice from Affoldern to Hemfurth by choosing a path that was littered with fallen trees. This means a number of kilometers with the necessary challenges. Nevertheless, a beautiful bike ride.

July 30, 2024,Einmal um den Edersee ☀️ 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏖⛵️

One of my favorite tours, always great😊the tour around the Edersee is perfect even at higher temperatures - the paths lead through the forest (often directly over the Urwaldsteig), along the shady side of the lake and some stretches also along or on the road. Yesterday, luckily, it wasn't busy at all, we were able to cycle very relaxed, jump …
