24-hour hiking adventure Edersee 2025 (September 12th and 13th)

11nd edition

24-hour hiking adventure Edersee 2025

Set yourself the challenge: approx. 42 km hiking marathon or approx. 84 km extreme hike!

On the partially certified quality hiking trails Urwaldsteig Edersee, Lichtenfelser Panoramaweg and Kellerwaldsteig you can choose between approx. 84 km of extreme hiking or approx. 42 km of hiking marathon through one of the most attractive low mountain ranges north of the Alps.

What counts is not who is faster, better or who reaches the finish line first, but rather the hiking experience with like-minded people. Everyone hikes at their own pace, enjoys the many small natural wonders along the route in their own way or lingers at the numerous viewpoints or food and adventure stations. Along the way you make contacts and motivate other participants to persevere, because everyone has the motivation to complete 42 or 84 kilometers!

In 2025 (12th and 13th September) we will start the 11th edition of the 24-hour Edersee hiking adventure.
