Cycle path along Lake Edersee

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is very pleasant to ride and leads directly along the lake or, when the water level is low, along the “cliff”.

The bike path is very nice to ride, but be careful: in places it goes very steeply downhill next to the bike path.

June 19, 2022,Traumpfade in Deutschland: Edersee Rundtour Korbach - Affoldern - Herzhausen - Korbachl

This tour offers a wide range of sensory overload and is therefore definitely one of Germany's dream paths. With the expansion of the railway line to the Ederseebahn cycle path, taxpayers' money was invested really sensibly. From Korbach to Affoldern, not only railway enthusiasts get their money's worth with beautiful bridges, tunnels, high embankments, deep cuts and some lovingly maintained …

A free day at Pentecost, oh what do you do when everyone else is out and about? You get on the saddle yourself and try a new route. Today I ended up at the Edersee. I started at the Korbach cycle junction over the old railway tracks, which have now been very well paved as a cycle path🚴 Past great …

Eventful round Korbach-Edersee-Bahnradweg in top conditions 🌞🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
In the approach to Marienhagen and in parts on the south bank, the surface is a little rough... more for MTBs... but especially the railway cycle path with top asphalt 👌😂

Today we cycled from our accommodation in Harbshausen to Võhl. There we took the same cycle path as yesterday via Dorfitter and Thalitter to Korbach. We actually wanted to take the ferry in Assel and cycle the E5 cycle path to Korbach South. As the ferry doesn't start operating until around 10 a.m., this was a bit too late for …

Start today at Buhlen train station, great parking right next to the railway cycle path that leads to Korbach. The R 6 is also on this route to Netze. After 25km I turn left onto the R 5, which I follow to the dam. After 33km the first and only cool descent, let it run and just reach 61kmh for …

Today, the Edersee was on my agenda. The weather seemed perfect. The weather forecasters had forecast light rain, and as is well known, the trails aren't that busy. When I arrived at the parking lot, God didn't disappoint, and it rained lightly. But as the saying goes: If you give up before you start, you've lost before you even begin!
