Lakeside Trail at Edersee National Park

Highlight • Trail

The bike path is very nice to ride, but be careful: in places it goes very steeply downhill next to the bike path.

July 16, 2026,von Dresden ins Erzgebirge und weiter zur Flüssefahrt in Mitteldeutschland Tag 7 : von Fritzlar nach Frankenberg ( Eder ) 🏁🏁🏁

Today I rode up the Eder to the reservoir. This was built to keep the Weser navigable even at low water levels. Thus, the water in the lake is always released during the summer months. The Eder transforms into a raging river, where a cool dip can become a dangerous undertaking. The water from the Eder thus flows into the …

May 7, 2025,Eder 3. Tag: von Frankenberg über Edersee nach Fritzlar

Today was a calm day, with few kilometers, few elevation gains, and little headwind. Only the navigation system, and thus the recording, stopped incorrectly several times (on the dead-straight sections).

After a hearty breakfast in Fritzlar, we set off on a stroll through the town on foot. Even if it costs a few beads of sweat...the steep climb up to the old town is definitely worth it. Very well-preserved half-timbered houses stand close together in narrow streets, framed by …

We waited out the rain and then set off a little later. The cycle route south of the Edersee was quite muddy in parts because it had rained heavily there.
The mood is good.
Again and again there are unrestricted railway crossings.
During the break at the Edersee, we got into conversation with a ranger and a cyclist. It was …
