This is one of my favorite routes to the Edersee, which is really cool to drive, especially when it is really quiet and there is also a nice campsite

Lake Edersee in northern Hesse, located in the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park near Kassel, is one of Germany's largest reservoirs at 27 km long and a top recreational destination. The region offers water sports, sailing, hiking, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Kellerwald National Park. It is known for Waldeck Castle, the 48-meter-high dam, and the "Edersee Atlantis," when submerged villages emerge during periods of low water.
