On this stage, the Urwaldsteig between Asel and Nieder-Werbe is hiked. The highlight here is certainly the Lindenberg with one of the last remnants of jungle in Europe!
The stage runs straight through the expanded national park on the “Knorreichenstieg”, which is also marked with the service tree leaf. It has been attracting nature enthusiasts for several years now.
From the parking lot at the “Strieder-Eiche” you go out of the Aseler Bay around the Katzenberg, at the top of which there is a wonderful view of the Edersee with a view of the southern national park. Then the path becomes narrower and rockier. The path winds along the Lindenberg through steep slopes of rubble with fairy-tale forest images - here you can only walk in single file. Every now and then the Edersee flashes through the curved treetops. Once you have reached the remains of the “Hünselburg”, go down the Lindenberggrat to the Edersee. From there the path leads again through rustic forest scenes.
At one point you have to avoid a landslide using a secured path. Finally, the path takes you through mixed deciduous forests to the Kahlen Hardt with its unique jungle remnants and beautiful views of the Edersee and the national park.
Into the Nieder-Werber Bay, deeply indented stream valleys have to be bypassed again and again.
