Best Season

Through deep beech forests

The first section of the route winds its way up the Großer Hegekopf in serpentines. We continue on the Urwaldsteig Edersee either around the Ochsen Wurzelskopf - following the red deer - or directly to the high storage basin. Sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are recommended. If you prefer a more leisurely experience, you can walk to the Uniper Information Center or the 100 Years of Edersee Information Center, take the funicular to Peterskopf and walk back on the asphalt path.
