Ederstede (also called Klingelstede) rock formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ederstede in Waldeck-Frankenberg is a natural monument that provides an insight into the history of the earth. The rock formation, also known as Klingelstede, shows rock layers from the Zechstein and Buntsandstein ages. That was about 245 million years ago. It was formed by the Eder flowing past it. Several hiking trails lead past it, including the Ederhöhenweg and the Burgwaldpfad.

Rest Area at Ederstedefelsen

Highlight • Rest Area

This pretty rest area is on the one hand a nice place to rest, on the other hand it offers some information about the Ederstedefelsen which lie on the banks of the Eder. Further north is the Klingelstede natural monument, which has the same origin as the Ederstedefelsen.

Since I didn't make it to Oberropshe by bus .. I skipped a stage and walked the end. Lots of blueberries and raspberries sweetened my path a lot! The end, high up along the Eder, was very sunny, so more sunscreen would have been appropriate. Was in Frankenberg for the first time. Very impressive half-timbered old town ... unfortunately not …
