course

The Ederseeweg begins in the Kassel district of Bad Wilhelmshöhe below the Wilhelmshöhe Castle at the KVG tram stop Wilhelmshöhe ; The Herkulesweg runs past her a little north .

Initially, the path leads through the Habichtswald Nature Park along the eastern edge of the Hohen Habichtswald towards the south - at its lowest point at the junction of Mulangstrasse from Wilhelmshöher Allee ( 231  m above sea  level ) and at the same time touching Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe . He crosses the Drusel and a little later a source stream of the Grunnelbach . Then he passes the Brasselsberg ( 434.2  m ); During a detour, from the Kassel Bismarck Tower on the mountain, you can enjoy the view over Kassel, including the Kaufungen Forest .

Then the path, which now faces south-west, runs past the seven ponds, which are a bit off the path, in the direction of the Hirzstein ( 502  m ), with a view of the rock face. Below it, after crossing under the federal autobahn 44 and reaching the district of Kassel through Elgershausen , where it crosses the Bauna after crossing the Baunapfads and Märchenlandweg , to cross the Kassel – Naumburg railway at the exit . Then it crosses the main ridge of the Langenberge - from the Kassel district in between to the Schwalm-Eder district - and reaches its highest point at the Vogelrain refuge (approx.  475  m ).

Shortly afterwards, the path, which now faces west, leads over the northern flank of the Niedensteiner Kopf ( 475  m ); During a detour, you can enjoy the view of the Habichtswälder Bergland and the Fritzlarer Börde from the Hessenturm standing on the mountain . In Niedenstein it crosses the Wiehoff and then runs in the Hinterhabichtswälder peaks along the southern edge of the forest of the Altenburg mountain ( 450.7 m ), on which the prehistoric Altenburg castle  was once located. Afterwards it leads - again in the Kassel district - together with the Herkulesweg and Märchenlandweg down to and through Bad Emstal , where it crosses the Ems .

The path then crosses the Elberberger Heights along with the Märchenlandweg in a westward direction and then leads through the core town of Naumburg on the Elbe . Then it leads - walking alone again - up into the Waldecker Wald , on whose main ridge the Diemel-Eder-Weg and the student path cross and where it leaves the Habichtswald Nature Park and enters the Waldeck-Frankenberg district. Downhill it runs past the Netzer Tiergarten by Selbach , where he also write the Selbach -called Reiherbach crossed.

After subsequently passing under the Edersee web-cycle path (formerly Edersee web ) of the leads the way down along the southwest Heron Bach to the northern edge of natural parks Keller Edersee lying low advertising . Directly south of the village, the path ends at the Uferstraße bridge - after passing two fore basins (at the Reiherbach and at the Werbe ) - at the Edersee reservoir ( 244.97  m ) within the nature park .
