Kellerwaldsteig

Hiking in the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature and National Park

A special attraction for hikers in the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park is the Kellerwaldsteig, a ca. 160 km-long circular route.

It links the National Park with the Nature Park, the mountains around the Edersee with the Hoher Keller in the south of the Nature Park, and the villages of the region.

The first National Park in Hesse provides special protection to beech forests, on an area of around 6,000 hectares. Here, nature is allowed to be nature, the forests are no longer used commercially, thus creating “tomorrow’s primeval forest”.

The Kellerwaldsteig has been awarded the “Wanderbares Deutschland Quality Trail” quality seal.

Multi-stage hike with daily transfer (taxi or hotel car, both included in the price), one change of hotel, same arrival and departure hotel. Kellerwaldsteig total length ca. 160 km. Alternative: Partial hike without change of hotel.
