Kellerwald
The good Lord and Mother Nature have poured out a cornucopia of beauty over our low mountain range landscape around Lake Edersee. This has not gone unnoticed by UNESCO, which in 2011 recognized certain selected areas, namely the last large red beech forests in Central Europe, as a World Heritage Site.
The 406 km² Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park in the south of the lake also surrounds the 57 km² national park – a pristine, natural landscape with steep slopes, gnarled ancient oaks and other remnants of primeval forest.
Peony carnations and reindeer lichen at Lake Edersee
The flora and fauna in this area are also unique. There is evidence of the peony carnation, a botanical rarity and survivor at Lake Edersee. Reindeer lichen, which dates back to the last ice age, can also be found here. You can find more information here …
