Eder cycle path

It starts behind the train station in Erndtebrück on the Park&Ride car park. This is also where the first information board from the Eder Cycle Path is located.

After leaving Erndtebrück and the beautiful Birkenallee behind you in the direction of Womelsdorf, you enter the somewhat adventurous landscape of Bad Berleburg. In Raumland there is a slate show mine.

After crossing the NRW/Hesse border between Beddelhausen and Hatzfeld, the route takes you leisurely along the old paved railway line over old railway bridges.

Between Reddighausen and Dodenau you come through a 350 meter long tunnel, but only in the warm season. In cold temperatures, the tunnel is closed because of the wintering of the barbastelle bats. There is an alternative route outside the tunnel along the Eder.

Continue towards Frankenberg where you will pass a bird watching pulpit behind Rennertehausen.

In Frankenberg you will first cycle through an industrial area but then you will arrive at the new Eder Park, which invites you to linger. Here near the water park you will find a bicycle parking facility and a hose machine from spring.

Then you continue towards Edersee, on this path there is a switchback in the forest between Ederbringhausen and Schmittlotheim, that is a short sliding distance, here you have to be careful that you do that Shield not overlooked. It then goes a little downhill through a small stream. You continue to Herzhausen, where you will also find the National Park train station (with battery charging station).

From here, at the western point of the Edersee, you cycle on the south side of the lake to Asel-Süd and then on to the edge of the Kellerwald National Park -Edersee along. The Edersee is worth a longer stop.

After you have passed the Edersee region with the treetop path and the wild animal park, you continue to Fritzlar and Felsberg until you reach the mouth of the Eder in the Fulda. You should definitely make a stop at the mouth of the Eder.

From there it is not far to the end point at the beautiful railway viaduct in Baunatal-Guntershausen, where you can either continue by train or cycle on the R1/Fulda-Radweg.

You can cycle to Kassel and return from there by train, e.g. B. via Marburg to Erndtebrück. So you only have to change once.
