December 27, 2025,Edersee: Rundweg durch den Kellerwald ab Waldeck 🪵🍂

We started our short break at Lake Edersee today. Since we didn't arrive until midday, we only did a short hike through the beautiful forest region 🌳🌳🍂🪵. The paths were narrow on the steep slopes, and we had to climb over some fallen trees. It was lovely 🤩, and the sun ☀️ was shining brightly.
