Waldeck Castle towers over the lake and tells of times long past. The dam wall is impressive not only for its size – at nightfall, it becomes a luminous backdrop. If you look more closely, you'll discover even more history: When the water level is low, the remains of sunken villages emerge. EderseeAtlantis. Plus: guided hikes, concerts, small festivals, and tours. The events calendar shows what's on and when. And for those craving some city flair: the historic old towns of Bad Wildungen and Fritzlar invite you to stroll, linger, and explore.

In Bergfreiheit, you'll encounter stories from the depths. In the Snow White House, in the mining museum, or on a guided tour of the gemstone polishing workshop. Minerals such as jasper and Kellerwald agate are still mined here today – testaments to the earth's long history. On the Scheid peninsula stands a modern holiday church with a church café. A place of peace, hospitality, and a place of arrival. Between Affoldern and Fritzlar lies an almost forgotten place of great significance. The Züschen stone chamber grave, a stone burial site from the Neolithic period, impresses with its simplicity and quiet power. And at night? It's worth looking up. The area is one of the few in Germany where the sky is still truly dark. A good place for stargazing. No light disturbs, no noise distracts. Of course, this is only a small excerpt. Some things you only discover as you walk. Other places only reveal themselves if you remain open to them.

Whether hiking in the jungle, cycling by the lake, or city flair in Bad Wildungen. Whether family fun, water sports and action or peace, relaxation and wellness - discover the many possibilities of our region and experience your very own Edersee-Moment.
