Very beautiful valley that seems endless. Nice access to Sohl. The trails in the map to the left and right of the road seem to have grown over me. Maybe someone knows better here and can contribute a tip?

The young Edertal is really worth a tour. The path is gravelled and generally easy to drive.

You follow the course of the Eder through the open valley. There is hardly any shade along the gravel path.

The most pleasant, because the best mobile way to the hornbeam. The parallel route on the other side of the Sottersbach is too bumpy. The much more extensive route via the cemetery and the Daadenerhöhe to the Hüllbuche is much steeper in the first half.
