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

Highlight • Cycleway

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

December 14, 2023,Edersee Aufwärmrunde

Start today at Buhlen train station, great parking right next to the railway cycle path that leads to Korbach. The R 6 is also on this route to Netze. After 25km I turn left onto the R 5, which I follow to the dam. After 33km the first and only cool descent, let it run and just reach 61kmh for …

Today, the Edersee was on my agenda. The weather seemed perfect. The weather forecasters had forecast light rain, and as is well known, the trails aren't that busy. When I arrived at the parking lot, God didn't disappoint, and it rained lightly. But as the saying goes: If you give up before you start, you've lost before you even begin!

Eventful round Korbach-Edersee-Bahnradweg in top conditions 🌞🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
In the approach to Marienhagen and in parts on the south bank, the surface is a little rough... more for MTBs... but especially the railway cycle path with top asphalt 👌😂

June 19, 2022,Traumpfade in Deutschland: Edersee Rundtour Korbach - Affoldern - Herzhausen - Korbachl

This tour offers a wide range of sensory overload and is therefore definitely one of Germany's dream paths. With the expansion of the railway line to the Ederseebahn cycle path, taxpayers' money was invested really sensibly. From Korbach to Affoldern, not only railway enthusiasts get their money's worth with beautiful bridges, tunnels, high embankments, deep cuts and some lovingly maintained …

August 23, 2022,Ederseebahn 🚂-Radweg 🚲 von Korbach bis Affoldern + Schloss Waldeck 🏰 + Edersee

Tested a route today from Korbach to Affoldern. Conclusion: absolutely suitable for descendants. All asphalt, beautiful views and small towns, viaducts to drive through and over.
But before it went on the route, there was a hill to Korbach, initially on a road and later on gravel.
From the Affoldener reservoir it goes straight on to the town of Hemfurth, …

June 27, 2023,Sommerradtour von der Isar an die Weser Tag 11: Waldeck - Korbach

Now that I'm already at the Edersee, it has to be circumnavigated, of course 😉 A ride that's worth it 👍 However, I'm happy to be on the road with a mountain bike, some sections are a bit rougher. Imposing dam and many idyllic sections right on the lake. The storm damage of the last few days has been well …
