Bärental Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In the unspoilt Bärental there is a real jungle atmosphere. The jungle trail runs here between huge oaks and beeches, whose leaves cast beautiful patterns on the forest floor in the sunlight.

The Mühlecke is a beautiful vantage point on stage 6 of the Urwaldsteig. There is a beautiful view of the Scheid peninsula and Rehbach. A bench invites you to linger.

July 2, 2021,Edersee Urwaldsteig 🌲🌳- Runde von Waldeck nach Nieder-Werbe und über die Felder zurück

Holidays at the Edersee😻, the second largest reservoir in Germany.

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the inspiration to come here, to Slueart, who put this destination in my focus with his Alaska tour last year, merci, Slueart🤗🤗

August 25, 2021,Aussicht auf Edersee – Urwaldsteig Runde von Netze

Once again a guest in Northern Hesse and today in the very best hiking weather on parts of the Urwaldsteig from Waldeck. Large parts of the way completely alone, heavenly peace, just great. I have to say a wonderful tour through the forests and heights along the Edersee. Great views, beautiful paths along the slope with lots of beautiful old …

May 16, 2022,Edersee (über die Jägerstiege ins Bärental)

Our plan to circumnavigate the Edersee in three stages via the Urwaldsteig failed due to the local accommodation options. So we planned two short tours for the arrival and departure days and one longer tour for the third day.

The last round, like the first, was a half-day tour. She started right at Waldeck Castle. On the "path to the …

October 12, 2024,Niederwerbe über Waldeck (Restaurant Besuch) für Kinder ab 9 Jahre - Rundweg

A beautiful loop. Start in Niederwerbe and then up to Waldeck. Unfortunately, the cable car will not be running in 2024. When it is running again, you can use it to shorten most of the altitude. We walked it. We were in Waldeck at lunchtime. There are a good selection of places to stop and eat, and after a full …

September 12, 2024,Urwaldsteig vanuit Niederwerbe, langs Schloss Waldeck

Very varied tour, starting in the primeval forest. Steep climbs on narrow goat paths alternated with flatter parts. From the forest you come to Schloss Waldeck, from there it is mainly an open landscape with wide grass paths, meadows beautiful avenues with apple trees. Good to walk and a very quiet area.

August 3, 2024,Urwaldsteig und Kellersteig am Edersee (Nationalpark Kellerwald)

On the second day of my little overnighter at the Edersee, I hiked sections of the Urwaldsteig and the Kellersteig. The Kellersteig led through a cultural landscape, which was also very beautiful. But my clear favorite is of course the Urwaldsteig.
Unfortunately, Komoot ended my hike early and saved it. Thankfully, I noticed it after a few meters, but now …

September 28, 2025,Edersee-Runde

We had to take advantage of the beautiful weather today!! After strictly ruling out hiking last night, the world looked considerably rosier this morning! 😃 So, on our hiking boots, grabbed our backpacks, and off we went to the Edersee. Last time we hiked the Knorreichensteig, this time it was the Urwaldsteig Edersee and the Kellerwaldsteig with lovely places to …
