Nuhnetal Cycle Route from Hallenberg to Lake Eder
Cycle along the idyllic Nuhne river to the beautiful Edersee lake. The 30 km route starts in Winterberg-Züschen.
Your first destination: Hallenberg. As a guest of the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa, it makes sense to start here. Ride along the "Aue" (cycle path R49) towards the Nuhnewiesen nature reserve. The tour continues along the former railway line and the Nuhnewiesen nature trail, taking you through enchanting countryside to Allendorf/Eder. There you will reach the Eder Cycle Path, one of the top cycle paths in Germany, which accompanies the Eder for 180 km from the Siegerland to its confluence with the Fulda. The path takes you to the 12 km² Edersee lake. How about a swim before cycling back to Hallenberg?
The cycle routes are well signposted, just like the hiking trails. All cycle routes can be found on our detailed hiking map.
