It is no coincidence that here is a piece of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage "Ancient beech forests of Germany" is hidden. Block forests, oak-monsoon forests, rock carnation-rock fields, 1,000 wells and streams, but also valleys with wooded pastures chen and three complete the unique ensemble. Worthy red deer strides through the realm of the original beech. Black stork, eagle owl and wild cat have returned to the quiet woods. The lynx roams around again. Seven woodpecker species and eighteen species of bats feel at home here.
Hiking in the national park and the world heritage is an experience of a special kind. The smartphone app is a valuable companion for adventure wilderness. The forest is accessed by 20 marked circular walks which can be taken in half-day tours. They pass on magical beech and clear springs. They lead by quiet meadow valleys and steep slopes. They bring you to fantastic viewpoints and downhill to the Edersee. But all allow you to dive into the fascinating wilderness of the national park. The Urwaldsteig, which is 20 kilometers long runs through the world heritage, makes a spectacular view to the old and the new wilderness. This is where the jagged remains of the jungle on the other side of the Edersee, outside the national park, covered. The app navigates to the hiking parking lots and along the trails. She informs about the national park, the world natural heritage and signs along the edge of the road.
