The most beautiful bike tours in Hesse
The cycle routes in Hesse take you along impressive lakes, through magnificent forest landscapes such as the Kellerwald-Edersee UNESCO World Heritage site, past unique sights and through idyllic half-timbered villages, which stand out with their historic town centres. Whether the family-friendly bike tour at the Edersee or the challenging tour through the Burgwald – the Ederbergland region has routes to satisfy everyone. We would like to present the cycling region around Frankenberg to you and give you our favourite bike tours at and around the Edersee.

Cycling at and around the Edersee
Unspoiled nature and a varied cultural landscape – that’s what this region of North Hesse is all about. The densely wooded low mountain range landscape of the Kellerwald and around the Edersee invites you on extensive tours with its very well signposted cycle routes. The routes will take you from Edertal via Vöhl, Fritzlar, Bad Zwesten and Frankenau to the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park.
Sonne tip:
If you are planning your bike tour at the Edersee in the summer, be sure to pack your swimwear. A jump into the deep blue water is pleasantly refreshing.

Eder-Radweg
The approximately 170 km long Eder-Radweg cycle route takes you along the Eder through unique landscapes in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. It starts in Erndtebrück in NRW, continues through the Waldecker Land region to where it flows into the Fulda River and from there to Baunatal-Guntershausen. The beautiful Edersee cycle route is also great for riding in individual stages or can be turned into an individual Edersee circular route. We have planned you a tour directly from Die Sonne Frankenberg!


GeoRadroute Ruhr-Eder
