High up with the funicular to Peterskopf!
If you want to go high, you'll get your money's worth at Edersee.
The modern funicular takes well over 10.000 guests comfortably up to the Peterskopf and back down again every year.
Once at the top, you will find a network of well-developed hiking trails, a place to stop for refreshments right near the mountain station and a spacious viewing platform at the upper basin from which you can enjoy a view of the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park and far into the Waldecker Land.
On the journey to the mountain station, the train covers a distance of 917m, an altitude difference of almost 300m, at a speed of 1,5m/s.
A journey takes around 11 minutes.
The cabin is pulled by a 142 HP electric motor and is attached to a steel cable with a diameter of 40mm.
The funicular to Peterskopf is a cabin with a capacity of 54 people.
(53 passengers and 1 operating staff)
It is possible to take bicycles with you.
There are steps installed in the area of the valley and mountain stations of the funicular, so unfortunately using the cable car with a wheelchair, for example, is only possible to a very limited extent.
