Asel Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

When the sea is full, one can only assume the bridge is under the ferry route

Asel Bridge (submerged bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

When the area around the Asel Bridge has dried up so far that the bridge and the access roads are passable, there is the option of shortening the route from Asel to Asel-Süd (or the other way round) or, in the area that has fallen dry, the "bottom of the Edersee" on foot or to explore by bike.

Urwaldsteig Kellerwald

Highlight • Trail

This route is very well signposted and leads through very different forest areas (pine, beech, mixed forest). The trails are also very promising, especially in winter.

View of the Eder Valley from the Hagenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Below the Hagenstein, the Eder meanders as a narrow river through the extensive valley. From the vantage point you have a sensational view in good weather.

August 24, 2025,Aseler Brücke – Wandern am Urwaldsteig

The hike starts at the Aseler Bridge in the Edersee - Atlantis at the bottom of the Edersee and leads along narrow paths lined with ancient beeches and gnarled oaks on a section of the primeval forest trail with magnificent views.
Since 2011, selected areas of the Kellerwald - Edersee National Park have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

August 26, 2025,Urwaldsteig Edersee zwischen Asel und Herzhausen 26.08.2025

After our holiday in the mountains, we headed to Lake Edersee today to see what the water level was like. We started at the car park at the Old Asel Cemetery. From there we hiked a few levels lower into the lake itself. We walked along the lake bed to the Asel Bridge and from there continued along a path …

June 29, 2025,Urwaldsteig Edersee Tag 2

Today we're starting at the hikers' car park in Asel, not far from the pier, because we want to tackle our first challenge, the ferry ride, right from the start. I bang on the saw blade (retro call) and Silke dials the provided cell phone number (modern version), and the much-desired boat appears on the opposite bank. The diesel engine …

June 29, 2025,2025-06-29 Urwaldsteig Tag 2 Lücken links 👈 geschlossen: Asel Süd - Kirchlotheim - Herzhausen - Asel

We spontaneously changed today's tour again and put the risk factor of the ferry right at the beginning. From Asel, we call the ferry from Asel South and, after some difficulty, set off again at 10:30 🕥 Magic! 🧙‍♀️ Not surprisingly, it's uphill straight away, but the rest of the day is easy 🤥🤭 The route to Kirchlotheim is stunningly …

June 16, 2022,Urwaldsteigrunde am Edersee

Great, very varied tour along the Edersee. You start at the hiker's car park in the national park and hike almost exclusively on natural paths, the jungle path, the bridge foundation path and short sections of the jungle path.
A few "height meters" are possible, but absolutely doable😉😉
If the Edersee has enough water, you can take the ferry from …

October 9, 2022,Kellerwald: Westlich IM Edersee 🍁☀️🏞

Even if some people can no longer see it, we have never seen the Aseler Bridge emerge from the water in reality. Whereby the trappings offered an additional splendor of colour. A dream! 🤩🍁
You definitely have to describe the tour as 'paths are made while walking', so that many of them will no longer be walkable in a very …
