Welcome to the region Edersee!

Where nature touches and experiences last.

In the heart of Germany, nestled in the vast forests of the Kellerwald-Eder Nature Park and National Park,Edersee, the Edersee Like a silent companion – 27 kilometers of water, surrounded by ancient beech trees, narrow hiking trails, and small villages. Your story begins here: Perhaps with a first barefoot step onto the shore. With a deep breath as you stand above the steep bank and the valley bathed in golden light. With the amazement of children at the sight of the imposing dam. With the enjoyment of the healing springs. The region Edersee is a place for days full of exercise, relaxation, and genuine experiences. Experience your personal Edersee-Moment on the water and on land.
