Urwaldsteig Entrance Near Nieder-Werbe

Highlight • Trail

Here the jungle and cellar forest trails first run very close to the Edersee. Before you then dive directly into the forest, you still have beautiful views of the nearby Nieder-Werbe. A very nice way.

Bärental Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In the unspoilt Bärental there is a real jungle atmosphere. The jungle trail runs here between huge oaks and beeches, whose leaves cast beautiful patterns on the forest floor in the sunlight.

January 21, 2026,URWALDSTEIG Edersee und Schloss Waldeck

Starting at the Waldeck cable car station in sunny but cool weather, the hike climbed steadily uphill to Waldeck Castle. Afterwards, the trail led back into the forest, then downhill to Nieder-Werbe. The reservoir there was completely dry this year, a severe lack of water. From there, the trail climbed relatively steeply along the Urwaldsteig (Ancient Forest Trail) on a …

We had to take advantage of the beautiful weather today!! After strictly ruling out hiking last night, the world looked considerably rosier this morning! 😃 So, on our hiking boots, grabbed our backpacks, and off we went to the Edersee. Last time we hiked the Knorreichensteig, this time it was the Urwaldsteig Edersee and the Kellerwaldsteig with lovely places to …

October 28, 2022,Hessen: Edersee von Nieder-Werbe über Waldeck und Urwaldsteig

First it went to Barbarossa, then Kellerwaldsteig to Waldeck Castle. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants were closed.
After Waldeck Castle, we went on the jungle trail. Through beautiful beech forest. But the thick foliage rustled with every step. When walking the trails, it was sometimes difficult to find your way under the foliage.

September 12, 2024,Urwaldsteig vanuit Niederwerbe, langs Schloss Waldeck

Very varied tour, starting in the primeval forest. Steep climbs on narrow goat paths alternated with flatter parts. From the forest you come to Schloss Waldeck, from there it is mainly an open landscape with wide grass paths, meadows beautiful avenues with apple trees. Good to walk and a very quiet area.

August 3, 2024,Urwaldsteig und Kellersteig am Edersee (Nationalpark Kellerwald)

On the second day of my little overnighter at the Edersee, I hiked sections of the Urwaldsteig and the Kellersteig. The Kellersteig led through a cultural landscape, which was also very beautiful. But my clear favorite is of course the Urwaldsteig.
Unfortunately, Komoot ended my hike early and saved it. Thankfully, I noticed it after a few meters, but now …
