Holidays at the Edersee in the Kellerwald-Ederse National Park

Dream vacation with a natural experience of gentle mountains, forests and water

You are standing on the lake shore, the sun is reflected on the blue water and glitters like 1000 stars. The sailboats look like little cotton balls on the water. A pleasant breeze gently rustles the leaves of the beech and oak forests. You breathe in the clear air, hear the chirping of birds and the soft hissing of the surfers. You are only in the here and now - a break that does you good.

With the Edersee region you have chosen a special place for your holiday in the middle of Germany. The landscape is shaped by the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park. A hiking holiday through this primeval forest is a unique natural experience. You will feel how the power of the trees is transferred to your life energy.

Look for and find relaxation on holiday: whether it's a leisurely boat tour on a passenger ship, a pedal boat or a rubber dinghy. Or are your muscles dying to get active? Our bike paths can be combined endlessly, from short laps on the e-bike to demanding bike tours, where you can really work off your energy at altitude. This is active vacation at its finest.

Sailing and windsurfing are popular water sports on the Edersee. Try something new and book a sailing taster course. It will surprise you how uncomplicated and not at all expensive it is. You will get to know new feelings of happiness, with the side effect that you are guaranteed to switch off, no matter how much stress you have in everyday life. Whether young 7 years or 70 with a lot of life experience - it is always possible!

Holiday with added value - experience and discover a lot. All around, the wonderful hilly landscape is enchanting with meadows and fields, in which small villages with their old churches are embedded as the center of the village. Palaces and castles or their remains stimulate the imagination about the eventful history. A detour to the nearby towns of Korbach, Frankenberg, Fritzlar and Bad Arolsen will put you in a good mood: rummage through the little shops, visit museums or have a coffee on the market square surrounded by impressive half-timbered houses.

Combine your vacation with wellness in Bad Wildungen - a symbiosis of sophisticated spa with contemporary health and wellness offers. Thermal baths, healing springs and the largest spa park in Europe – Bad Wildungen has it all. With a promenade, a pretty old town and a great cultural program with concerts and exhibitions, the charming spa town is a wonderful addition to the Edersee and is only a stone's throw away.

We promise you wonderful holidays. The Edersee will enchant you and maybe become your lake for life.
