Waldeck starts Greentrails: 12 kilometers of adventures on the Edersee!
On Friday afternoon, an exciting new chapter for mountain bikers was opened in Waldeck: twelve kilometers of redesigned bike trails around the picturesque Edersee were officially inaugurated. This should not only offer sporting challenges, but also promote unique natural experiences in the region. The festive act took place on the Waldeck market square, accompanied by a number of regional representatives, including District Administrator Jürgen van der Horst and Mayor Nicolas Havel.
The new trail system offers three varied rounds with a total of 33 kilometers - including the special twelve kilometers single trails. These lead through the idyllic Reiherbach valley, where gentle gradients and numerous curves are waiting for the bikers. A highlight is the so-called themed trail, which provides exciting information about the Edersee. If you want to improve your driving technique, you can do this at special active stations. The routes in detail are as follows:
The trails at a glance
| name of the trail | length
| |
|---|---|---|
| Waldecker Loop | 8.6 km | 167 m |
| Sachsenhausen round | 2.6 km | 130 m |
| VELTUM Pink Loop | variant | 271 m |
The entrances to the trails are easily accessible in Waldeck, Lower Werben and Sachsenhausen. It is particularly gratifying that the construction of the trails created a compensation area of 97,000 square meters in order to support the project's nature -friendly approach. This close cooperation between planners, construction companies, administration and conservationists shows how important the region is to protect its valuable nature.
investments and future prospects
With regard to the future, District Administrator Van der Horst announced that he wanted to invest around one million euros in further projects in the Greentrail program in 2025, with the aim of completing at least two new projects annually. Waldeck not only relies on the local offer, but also plans to open further trails in Diemelstadt in autumn, which will expand the project.If you want to explore the new trails yourself, you have the opportunity to go to guided tours. This combination of sporting activity and the breathtaking nature around the Edersee will not only enjoy bike enthusiasts, but also nature lovers. With impressive views, such as the Waldeck Castle, every trip will be an unforgettable experience for everyone who loves mountain biking. After all, the loneliness of the trails in the basement forest is particularly attractive, since you can be undisturbed by large hiking groups in nature.
The opening of the Greentrails is an important step for Waldeck, which not only improves the local infrastructure, but also contributes to the fact that sport and nature combine in a harmonious way. An attractive offer is waiting for everyone who likes to work out a little in nature and want to enjoy the landscape.
