In our new hiking brochure, we present a colorful selection of high-quality hiking trails throughout the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park and National Park. Included are four of our quality and premium trails, as well as a selection of 27 shorter circular trails, ranging from 3km to 11km. On the last pages there is an overview map in which the four major hiking trails and the shorter circular trails are entered with numbers. In addition, the brochure contains a lot of additional information on the subject of hiking.
