Edersee-Radweg 1 (ER1) - over the Sachsenhausen hill country and through the Werbetal

In Nieder-Werbe, the Edersee cycle path 1 branches off from the Edersee circular path and ends there again. The ER1 is a moderately demanding tour that invites you to linger here and there for a longer period of time. The start is at the parking lot in Nieder-Werbe. As with the other circular tours, it is possible to start at any point along the route. Whether through the picturesque Werbetal or the quiet Reiherbachtal - the climb to the Waldecker Tafel is gentle. The hilly landscape around Sachsenhausen is open and always offers wonderful views of the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park and the Upland. The deeply cut Werbetal appears picturesque with its bizarre rock formations, colorful heather heaths, the natural Werbe, the idyllic half-timbered villages, old mills and the dilapidated monastery walls of Ober-Werbe. The cycle path runs parallel to the babbling Werbe stream. In spring the forest presents itself in a delicate green. Even on hot summer days, it ensures a pleasant climate. In the “Indian Summer”, the sunny autumn, the forest shines in warm colors. Again and again it provides wonderful views of the surroundings, both near and far.
