The Ederradweg is excellently signposted and well developed, the route often close to the river offers wonderful views and many rest opportunities, is very scenic and varied; the flat terrain is well suited for children and less trained cyclists.

With pleasant temperatures we cycled comfortably and were surprised how beautiful the Eder and the Ederauen are 😊We ate a little something at the Westerhotel and Bikertreff Zündstoff Edersee 😉 and then …

Kuba got in the car, put his …

Very nice bike path. Unfortunately, I missed the right path down from the castle in the forest and then had to go down a very narrow, bumpy hiking trail. Absolutely not recommended to go down this path by bike. But going back was not an option so close your eyes and through.

We stopped at the Koppenretscher Wirt in Wega and fortified ourselves with food and drinks. 🍔🍟🍺🥃😋
The average speed of around 8 km/h is probably …
