    Hiking

    The medieval stronghold of Waldeck towers high above Lake Edersee. The completely preserved building has a history of more than 900 years. The Counts of Waldeck lived in the castle until 1655 and expanded it like a castle over time. The castle was then used as a barracks and in the 18th and 19th centuries primarily as a penitentiary and women's prison. Today you can find out more about the eventful history in the castle museum. In addition to the museum, there is a restaurant and a hotel in the castle.

    Hiking

    The landmark of the region, the defiant Waldeck Castle, once ancestral seat of the Counts of Waldeck, who resided here until the 17th century, towers 200 m above the 27 km long lake. Today the castle is home to a first-class hotel and various restaurants.
    From the viewing terrace you have a wonderful view of the Edersee and the wooded mountains of the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park.
    Visiting the castle complex is free of charge, the castle museum is chargeable.
