The bike path is very nice to ride, but be careful: in places it goes very steeply downhill next to the bike path.

June 6, 2023,Radweg am Edersee mit Fährfahrt

Actually, I wanted to circle the dam completely. But dark clouds were gathering. That's why I took the shortcut with the ferry. It also rained a few drops and it got chilly. I forgot to rotate the original route direction. I think it's nicer to drive over the dam wall to the north bank first. The cycle path leads directly …

What an experience! The first time I've seen an empty Edersee. 😎 Suddenly, you're standing in the middle of the lake, cycling over the Aseler Bridge. 👍🏼

Today, with the lake at 13% full, a lap around the lake, with a shortcut over the old Aseler Bridge (normally under water).

You have to love these bike paths!
According to the map, the riverside path ends in a dead end from Asel Bay. So, it was an hour-long climb up to Basdorf, only to fly back down to the Edersee in ten minutes. Pneumonia included. The descent would have taken five minutes, but the rocky ground with stones and gravel, mostly …

A beautiful round along the Edersee. Frighteningly little water and therefore you could also drive over the bridge in Asel and see the village of Berich.
The whole thing is very interesting and always worth a tour.

Did a medium lap around and over the Edersee with Komootlers. A nice leisure activity with exercise and a treat for the palate. The paths are easy to drive, you get a little warm on the inclines when the sun is shining 😁. You can at the Edersee,. spend a whole day. You can extend the tour as you like …

The loop around Lake Edersee is almost like a home loop 😄
With water, with a little water, or without water at all.
Cycling across the lake instead of swimming is always an experience 👍🏻

September 4, 2022,Edersee-ist-leer-Tour: Atlantis im Edersee

It was a spontaneous idea that quickly took shape and was quickly given a date: Sunday, September 4, 2022
We started from Nieder-Werbe. Pretty soon we drifted "into the lake" but didn't come back to the right bank, so we had to turn around again with a muddy-dirty bike. Then it went steeply into the forest, only to linger for …
