Best Season

The Kellerwaldsteig aims to bring hikers closer to the varied and unique beauty of the Kellerwald-Edersee nature and national park.

All the sights in the almost 600-square-kilometer nature reserve and the centrally located Kellerwald-Edersee National Park are located on the hiking trail. True to the motto: "Really unwind for a moment," you can recharge your batteries for everyday life in the mild low mountain climate. Experience the Edersee lake with its clean and clear water, the pristine stunted forests in the north, the giant beech trees in the national park, idyllic villages with inviting country inns, and, especially in the south, the forests, fields, and meadows so popular with hikers.

There is a hiking pass along the Kellerwaldsteig with ten stations where you can collect a motif for the pass and a geocache. As a reward you will receive a unique hiking coin or a travel bug! >>>Hiking pass information<<

Tip: New to the Kellerwaldsteig are trekking sites that allow you to spend the night in nature. The first trekking sites are located on the Nordschleife, which you can find online at Website of the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park. A Alternative route between Hüddingen and Frankenau connects the Kellerwaldsteig in the middle and thus allows hiking in a north or south loop.
