September 15, 2025,Sachsenhäusertunnel Korbach von Waldeck

Today I followed the Edersee Railway Cycle Path to Korbach.
A very good route, with lovely little stops along the way.
Korbach, with its beautiful old town, is worth a trip.

May 14, 2023,Sachsenhausen -Korbach - Reiherbachtal - Waldeck

Of course, before I left Sachsenhausen, I had to check whether the lake was really overflowing. Just stopped by Reinhild and rang the bell. And then the tour started.
Parked the car in Sachsenhausen in the industrial area, drove the Edersee Bahntrasse to Korbach and did a short tour of the city. It was very quiet in the Hanseatic city. …

June 4, 2023,KB - Seefest in Edertal-Mehlen

Our tour started with a shock: After our Friday trip to Fürstenberg (30 km) we both forgot to charge our batteries. Well - I made the outward journey to Mehlen completely without an "e". With a few exceptions, it only went down. In Mehlen am See there were various delicious fish dishes / fun water games / unfortunately only from …

September 6, 2022,Korbach & Ederseebahn-Radweg & Seilbahn

Today, on the last full day of the short trip to the Edersee, we first took the bus to Korbach in the morning.
Once there, a round of sightseeing through the city before we went on the Ederseebahn cycle path.
As old railway lines developed into cycle paths are - relatively boring.
Here a tunnel, there over a bridge, between …
