Our trekking places
Spend the night in nature
A highlight of the region
Trekking places in Germany have become increasingly popular in recent years. Trekking sites allow you to spend the night in the great outdoors in a limited area. In doing so, they enable a unique, legal nature experience, help bridge the gap between a lack of accommodation and reduce wild camping.
The trekking site season begins on April 1 and ends on October 31. The exception to this is the Aartal trekking site, which closes annually on August 31.08.
What is special about our trekking sites?
Our trekking sites Aartal, Nuhnetal and Fürstenberg are located in remote places along the Lichtenfels panorama trail. They offer the perfect opportunity for overnight stays between daily stages.
Our trekking sites Elmsberg, Lärenberg, Louisendorf and Fuchsloch Asel are brand new, which now offers you accommodation options for your hike on our popular Kellerwaldsteig, especially in the northern area. Further trekking sites for the southern area are already being planned!
How do I best plan my hike?
This map gives you a good overview of the location of the trekking sites. You can find the exact coordinates of the site under "More Information" > "Important Information" for each offer.
We ask you not to publish or share the location data elsewhere.
We also recommend that you plan the tour portal the Edersee region, which also works conveniently via app.
Online booking
The essentials in brief:
Our pitches are designed with minimalist design and are completely natural. We deliberately avoid wooden platforms. Please note that the ground may not always be flat and smooth, depending on the pitch.
In our booking tool you always book an overnight stay on the day of arrival. This means: Your overnight stay is planned for the 15th to the 16th, so you book the 15th (00:00 a.m.)
Booking a trekking site on two consecutive days is not permitted.
At our Nuhnetal trekking site you can also spend the night on the adjacent meadow if the designated area is too uneven for you.
Information about cancellations or rebookings can be found in the Terms and conditions.
You will find the code for the combination lock on the composting toilet on your ticket.
For each offer, you will find a map to download under "More Information" that shows you the direct route from the hiking trail to the trekking site.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us during our opening hours by phone. 05621 969460 is available for storage, management and analysis.

Tips and advice for your overnight stay
Lighting fires is not allowed - danger of forest fires! The use of, for example, gas or alcohol stoves on the stone slabs provided is OK.
For an overnight stay you will need everything you would otherwise pack for a night of camping (tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, warm clothing, water and food).
Small bags in which you can take leftover food or packaging waste with you and dispose of it in the nearest garbage can are also helpful.
There are raccoons in the region! Food should therefore be stored safely.
Bring your own toilet paper.
The Lichtenfels Panorama Trail runs along the Orke, Nuhne, and Aar rivers. This water is not for drinking (sewage treatment plants, agricultural use). We recommend asking for water bottles to be refilled in the villages. Small amounts of water can also be collected at the cemeteries in all villages. In Asel, there is also a paddling pool with a water pump for domestic use.
For the Kellerwaldsteig we recommend our hiking pass!
