View of the Edersee from Ziegenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

You may notice the trees and bushes that are sometimes quite gnarled. The use of pasture by goats during the last centuries and their browsing on the plants is one of the reasons for this. In addition, there is the barren soil and the dry rocks, which only allow sparse vegetation.

For hikers, however, it is a very attractive path, because the atmosphere is beautiful and the views of the Edersee are magnificent.

Hexenkopf

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very quaint paths until then, Edersee-typical steep slope stop. :-) From the square itself you then have a good view. The same applies to the Hexenplatz, but it is still worth hiking through both places. Sometimes the way is the goal...

Devil's Ravine (Kellerwald-Edersee National Park)

Highlight • Gorge

In terms of legend, the Teufelsgraben and Hexenkopf belong together and are connected by a rustic forest path. You can get to the Teufelsgraben via a very small path and a wooden walkway.

Kanzel Viewpoint: View of Edersee and Waldeck Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The vantage point "Kanzel" (399 meters) with the Friedrich-Meyer-Hütte (shelter) is always worth a detour. From here you have a great view of the Edersee, especially the Hammerbergspitze (when the water is low, the whole headland comes to light) and Waldeck Castle. The four tree-trunk chairs are very inviting for a rest, from where you have the best view while you're having a meal.

December 27, 2025,Edersee: Rundweg durch den Kellerwald ab Waldeck 🪵🍂

We started our short break at Lake Edersee today. Since we didn't arrive until midday, we only did a short hike through the beautiful forest region 🌳🌳🍂🪵. The paths were narrow on the steep slopes, and we had to climb over some fallen trees. It was lovely 🤩, and the sun ☀️ was shining brightly.
