May 18, 2024,Urwaldsteig zur Staumauer Edersee

From Waldeck we entered the national park directly on the Urwaldsteig. After several wonderful viewpoints we arrived at the Edersee dam, which was built in the imperial era at the beginning of the 20th century to supply water to the Weser and Mittelland Canal as well as to generate electricity and protect against flooding. A little refreshment, a walk around …

Today's tour started at the Waldeck Castle hiking car park – a day ticket costs €6.
First, we visited the castle grounds before heading to the Kellerwaldsteig trail. The paths through the forest require sturdy footwear and absolute surefootedness in some places. The ups and downs were always rewarded with magnificent views of the castle, the Edersee, and the dam. …

August 30, 2024,Urwaldsteig am Edersee 🌊 Waldeck - Talsperre 🔄🥾

"Hiking in the wild" describes the unique jungle trail that really impressed us today.
Winding paths lead over hill and dale, and it's not uncommon for a tree trunk to be in the way. Steep slopes often lead to fantastic views.
A highly recommended trail👍. We're already looking forward to the next stage (whenever that may be😉).

April 12, 2025,109. Wanderung am 12.4.2025 von der Burg Waldeck zur Staumauer am Edersee. Der erste Teil des Schlossbergrundweg 2

Normally, the Schlossberg Trail 2 is a circular route. However, we hiked the first leg to the Edersee and took a boat ride on the Edersee.
A beautiful tour. We hiked the second leg afterward.
