The “must-do” tour on Edersee! A beautiful interplay between water and forest. The entire reservoir is circumnavigated.

An experience for the whole family is the marked Edersee-Cycle route (ER). The approximately 50 km long tour leads on partially asphalted paths around the deep blue Edersee - the change between water and forest makes this tour an unforgettable experience. A large part of the route runs directly along the banks of the Edersees along. The Edersee It has a natural feel and is reminiscent of the fjords of Scandinavia. In summer, the clear, clean lake invites you to take a refreshing dip. In late summer, the "Edersee ATLANTIS" from the waters. The lake's loops, surrounded by forest, offer oases of quiet relaxation and nature-based leisure activities. From the forests of the Kellerwald-Edersee (UNESCO World Heritage Site) offers magnificent views of the unique lake and forest landscape.

Our tip

Due to the numerous piers for passenger shipping Edersee and the ferries between Asel/Asel-Süd and Rehbach/Scheid offer a wide range of possibilities for different tour designs and stage lengths.

safety instructions

The cycle paths/routes sometimes alternate between asphalted, gravel and/or field/forest paths. Very rare, even on roads with little traffic. The cycle paths/routes can be combined as desired (including ferries and ships) and are signposted on both sides. There are also a few combined cycle and pedestrian paths.

The official rescue points (e.g. KB-428) are entered/marked on the maps and signs on site. If you are injured, you can inform the emergency services (telephone: 112) of the relevant point. The cell phone network is not comprehensive, especially in the national park.

Use of the cycle path/route is at your own risk. If there is strong wind, heavy rain or snowfall, you should not use this cycle path/route!

Since the tour involves quite a bit of elevation gain, children should ideally be fit enough to ride a bike and have completed a cycling proficiency test at school...
