Cycle path along Lake Edersee

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is very pleasant to ride and leads directly along the lake or, when the water level is low, along the “cliff”.

August 5, 2023,Wittgenstein-Eder 2. ET von Dodenau nach Hemfurth-Edersee 65 km
The day rewarded us with nice weather, sunny and partly cloudy but warm. Edersee looks very empty, but should be well filled as you can hear. Green grass now grows where there is water on the map. Rain only came in the evening from about 8 p.m. Komoot had HM problems again

On the 2nd day, the cycle path continues through nature and forest, often next to a railway line and as a gravel path. The Eder is always nearby. After 20 km in Frankenberg, we stock up on delicious things "downstairs" at the bakery Müller and then climb up to the old town in a cumbersome way. There we admire the …

The total kilometers from the train station to the Edertalsperre and back to the train station were approx. 54 km.

For Melchior's 40,000km campaign, I rode one of my favorite routes around Lake Edersee.
The return route followed the Lorfe River via Frankenau.
It was too early and too warm for the polar bear🐻‍❄️. As a poor substitute, I photographed a cow🐮.😉

August 20, 2021,Ederradweg 3 Frankenberg und Edersee
Part 3 of the Eder, Fulda, Weser, Diemel, Möhne and Ruhr tours. Focus on Frankenberg and Edersee. I spent the next 3 nights in Kleinern in the Pension zum Wesetal. Very nice, and the cheapest ADFC bed & bike hotel on the tour. Great area with many opportunities to go cycling and hiking. The next day was spent visiting friends …
