Eder Spring

Highlight • River

At this point you can find the renatured source of the Eder. It is very inconspicuous in contrast to the other springs in the headwaters on the Rothaarsteig, but worth a visit.

August 4, 2023,Wittgenstein Eder-1. ET von Lützel Bf ü. Ederquelle nach Erndtebrück -Dodenau 63 km

Unfortunately, the first hour rain and fog, then the sun came out a bit. Unfortunately, the cycle path was affected by the flooding of the Eder and its foggy streams, detours were signposted, the weather improved over the course of the day. In the evening sat in the beer garden.

Day 1 of the Eder Cycle Route: From the train station in Lützel, the first 6 km climb to the source on the Ederkopf – asphalt with a maximum gradient of 8%, so doable. Then, on the other side, forest paths descend to Erndtebrück and then along the Eder River. The first 30 km are quite challenging – 90% forest …

Super beautiful, at the beginning a bit "wild" on hiking trails, later mostly on the route of the old Edertalbahn (which today only goes as far as Bad Berleburg)

The section from Siegen to the Ederquelle is quite ok, despite the incline. The descent until shortly before Erndtebrück, then everyone should deviate onto the road, the forest path is not passable, broken down by the forest work to the field path. I just got through the mud. After Erndtebrück you can continue driving again.
