hike to Mühlecke

From the Bärental hiking car park, we headed toward the Urwaldsteig trail, initially following a wider path through the Fischegrund. A few hundred meters further on, just after a fork in the path, the Urwaldstein turns left, leaving the wide forest path. From here, the trail continues on narrow, natural paths through the steep slope north of the EderseeThe path is lined with wondrous tree shapes, deadwood, rocks, and beautiful reindeer moss. There are two beautifully situated benches, each offering a magnificent view of the Edersee towards Rehbach, Scheid and the treetop path. After a slight downhill, the path turns sharply left and past the Mühlecke back towards the starting point. The last part of the path leads along the edge road. Here you can walk along the banks of the Edersees, for example, take some nice photos at the diving tree.

Have you read the signposts in the Kellerwald National Park?Edersee Have you ever looked closely? One of the photos shows a runner, and you can read NLP 8129, for example. Each of these runners, as the wooden posts that show you the way are called, contains a plaque with a unique location number and the general emergency telephone number. If something happens to someone, you should run forward or backward along the path until you reach the next runner. Using the location number attached to it, the control center can identify your location and immediately initiate the appropriate rescue measures.
