Unfortunately the ferry didn't go, so we had to drive the way back. The dam looks great in the dark with the lighting. The grand finale was a visit to the pancake house. It's very nice there and the pancakes are a poem.

We started from Hemfurt in the direction of the dam!
The path then led us over the magnificent dam with the fascinating views of the full lake on the one hand and in the outlet towards Affoldern on the other!
At the end we kept right towards Rehbach!
Always with a wonderful view of the lake, we got to Rehbach …

July 5, 2025,Ederseeumrundung zweite Hälfte

Today we took a leisurely stroll around the second half of the Edersee! We started in Niederwerbe! First, we cycled to Scheid and observed how the water level of the Edersee had dropped significantly in just one week, which is understandable, of course, since we haven't had a drop of rain here for almost seven weeks! From Scheid, we took …

In the best cycling weather, we took another short, easy tour around a third of the Edersee as a farewell. Half of the route ran along the road. The detour to the summer toboggan run was fun. On the Scheid peninsula, the cycle path went through cool forest to the town and the passenger ferry over to Rehbach. To the …

August 24, 2021,Kleine Edersee Runde zum Baumwipfelpfad und Tierpark

The Edersee can be explored wonderfully by bike. So first of all a rapid descent from Waldeck to the lakeshore took us. A bike path right on the road led us to Scheid. There we took a small passenger ferry to Rehbach. On quiet forest paths we went to the treetop path. There you have a great overview of the …

It was just too warm for more today. But there are so many nice rest areas along the route.
