エーダー湖のおすすめツーリングルート

とても美しい景色。

The Affoldern Reservoir (Affoldern Lake) in Hesse is a reservoir of approximately 165 hectares, created in 1929 and expanded in 1972 near Edertal. It serves as the lower reservoir for the Waldeck pumped-storage power plants, for flood control, and as a nature reserve rich in fish. The lake is known for its large waterfowl population, opportunities for fishing (salmonids), and the adjacent cycle path. Wikipedia +4 Key Facts and Features: Location: Below the Eder Dam, in the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, near the village of Affoldern. Function: Primarily the lower reservoir for the Waldeck I and II pumped-storage power plants, which can cause water level fluctuations of up to 3 meters. It also serves as flood control for the Eder, Fulda, and Weser rivers. Nature Conservation: The lake is a designated nature reserve and bird sanctuary (FFH area). It is an important resting and wintering area for waterfowl. Leisure: Fishing: A well-known fishing spot, especially for brown and rainbow trout, but also pike, zander, and eel. The fishing season usually runs from April to mid-October. Boating: Boats are permitted on the northern part of the lake from March 16th to October 15th. Cycling/Hiking: A popular cycle path runs along the lake. Camping: A campsite is located directly on the lake. Special feature: As the lake is an important breeding and resting area, some areas are protected as quiet zones. Wikipedia +5 Affoldern Lake thus offers a combination of industrial energy use, flood control, and nature-based recreation, directly adjacent to the national park.

When there is a lot of drought, the old villages come to light again.

From the bike path, the remains of the sunken village of Berich are clearly visible at low tide. It can also be easily explored on foot at low tide – very interesting!

Invites you to take a walk through ruins

Today, the castle complex houses a museum[3] as well as a hotel and restaurant. The museum's exhibition, "Behind Lock and Key"[1], primarily displays artifacts from the time when the castle served as a women's prison and a workhouse during the 18th and 19th centuries. Guided tours are also available using an audio guide system. From the castle, there is a panoramic view of Lake Edersee as far as the dam and into the Kellerwald forest. The Waldecker Bergbahn cable car connects the castle with the various attractions located below Lake Edersee.

There are some benches to rest on overlooking the beautiful lake, a quiet location...
