24-hour hiking adventure Edersee 2026 (September 11th and 12th)

12nd edition

24-hour hiking adventure Edersee

Set yourself the challenge: approx. 42 km hiking marathon or approx. 84 km extreme hike!

On the certified quality hiking trails Urwaldsteig EderseeOn the Kellerwaldsteig, Kellerwaldsteig, and Lichtenfelser Panoramaweg trails, you'll experience nature in its most pristine form—whether on the approximately 42 km hiking marathon or the 84 km extreme hike. It's not about speed or athletic performance, but rather about consciously exploring one of the most impressive low mountain landscapes north of the Alps.

You hike at your own pace, enjoy the small natural wonders along the way, take breaks at viewpoints, or connect with others at the refreshment and activity stations. Community is the focus. You motivate each other, strike up conversations, and, along the way, grow beyond yourself. Whether 42 or 84 kilometers: the choice is yours. The experience remains. Intense, tranquil, and inspiring.
