Urwaldsteig Edersee

A week of walking around the Edersee, through forests and wild gorges.

Urwaldsteig and Kellerwald-Edersee National Park. The Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park region lies in heavily forested northern Hesse, a unique cultural landscape shaped by extensive woods, smallholdings and idyllic villages. At its heart shimmers the blue-green Edersee, ringed by steep, sun-warmed slopes.


Long-abandoned charcoal-burning sites, stone burial mounds and the mighty Waldeck Castle high above the Edersee bear witness to the region’s eventful history. Through Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, with its gnarled, stunted woods and giant beeches, the Urwaldsteig guides you on a 70 km circuit around the Edersee (no hotel change).


The Kellerwaldsteig leads through the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park and loops around the Edersee in a wide arc, an approx. 160 km route, with daily passenger transfers, starting in Niederwerbe, and only one hotel change.
