The stage runs straight through the expanded national park on the “Knorreichenstieg”, which is also marked with the service tree leaf. It has been attracting nature enthusiasts for several years now.
From the parking lot at the “Strieder-Eiche” you go out of the Aseler Bay around the Katzenberg, at the top of which there is a wonderful view of the Edersee with a view of the southern national park. Then the path becomes narrower and rockier. The path winds along the Lindenberg through steep slopes of rubble with fairy-tale forest images - here you can only walk in single file. Every now and then the Edersee flashes through the curved treetops. Once you have reached the remains of the “Hünselburg”, go down the Lindenberggrat to the Edersee. From there the path leads again through rustic forest scenes.
At one point you have to avoid a landslide using a secured path. Finally, the path takes you through mixed deciduous forests to the Kahlen Hardt with its unique jungle remnants and beautiful views of the Edersee and the national park.
Into the Nieder-Werber Bay, deeply indented stream valleys have to be bypassed again and again.

Instead of taking the bus, you can travel here in normal taxis or rental cars. AST also have fixed timetables - you just have to register your wish to travel by telephone (usually) up to 30 minutes before the journey. Also remember that AST only run when there are no normal buses running at the same time.

safety instructions
The forests in the national park are not used for forestry purposes. Old trees and those at risk of breakage will not be removed. Trees can tip over and branches fall onto the paths. Visiting the national park and using all paths is therefore at your own risk! Please do not go into the forest in strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall.
This disturbs nature
Our natural heritage is protected in the national park. People are guests here. Nature requires special consideration. Therefore, please observe the behavioral instructions.
Nature is severely disturbed by the following actions:
- Don't scare animals
- Do not deviate from the marked paths
- Please be quiet so as not to scare animals
- Do not carelessly dispose of empty cans, bottles and other rubbish in the landscape
- Do not pick plants
- Do not light fires in the national park
- Keep your dog on a leash so that he doesn't startle any animals
- Park in the designated areas
- Camping is not permitted in the national park. Take advantage of the official offers
Way markings
You can reach the special features of the national park via the marked hiking trails. Circular trails from the national park's hiking car parks are marked with animal or plant symbols. There are “sign trees” with place names at selected crossroads. They are landmarks for the hiker.
Rescue points
The official rescue points (e.g. KB-426) are entered/marked on the maps and signs on site in the national park. If you are injured, you can inform the emergency services (telephone: 112) of the relevant point. Unfortunately, the cell phone network is not comprehensive.
Liability
No liability is assumed for the accuracy of the information in the text and maps.
Use of the Urwaldsteig is at your own risk. You should not walk the Urwaldsteig in strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall.
