Tips

August 18, 2020

Hiking

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.

The pulpit with its four thrones and the refuge is a beautiful resting place with a wonderful view of the Edersee and Waldeck Castle.
