The Ederstausee was built 1908-1914 for the water level regulation of the Weser and the Mittelland Canal, for the flood protection of the lower Eder, the lower Fulda and the Weser as well as for the energy production by hydropower. No one had ever thought about a tourist use during the construction. Asel, Bringhausen and Berich had to leave the reservoir. Asel and Bringhausen settled above Lake Eder, only Berich left the lake and settled near Volkmarsen in "Neu-Berich". Many have removed parts of their timbered houses and reused them in the construction of new houses, including parts of the churches of Bringhausen and Berich. The sunken remains, foundations and memory are still to be seen. Low-advertising was affected by the construction of reservoirs. Reconstruction of the old church tower in the Edersee basin to the demolished church of Nieder-Werbe.
The best preserved structure is the Eder Bridge near AselFrom Alt-Bringhausen and Alt-Berich the cemeteries have remained. They were covered with concrete ceilings before flooding and are now accessible at appropriate water level. Then there are also official guided tours to the sunken villages and you can immerse yourself in a past world on the bottom of Lake Edersee.

Burgruine Eisenberg from the Georg Victor Tower ↗

Goldhausen/Eisenberg - largest gold deposit in Germany

Walk in the footsteps of Germany's Goldgraeberdorf No. 1. The Korbach district of Goldhausen on the 560m high Eisenberg still contains deep inside the largest gold deposit in Germany of several tons. Since the 11th century, gold diggers and lucky knights tried to wrestle the coveted precious metal from the Eisenberg. Twenty kilometers of shafts and tunnels drove them into the mountain in laborious manual labor. Gold mining ended with the 30-year war. Most recently, in the 80s of the 20th century, a reactivation of gold mining was carried out, but mining is unprofitable due to the fine distribution in the rock and would result in massive interventions into the environment. The streams springing near the mountain strongly contribute to the gold retention of the Eder. Therefore, small gold particles are found in the waters of the region. On the mountain there are the Burgruine Eisenberg and the Georg Victor Tower, from which you enjoy a beautiful view of Korbach as well as the Habichtswald, Kellerwald and Hochsauerlandkamm/Rothaargebirge.   Eisenberg gold mine The unique feature of this visitor mine is that the Mine is almost as left as it was in pre-industrial timesHere there are no technical refinements such as lighting and pit railway, but gold mining with the simplest means, as well as the geology are in the foreground. The visitor is placed in the position of a miners in the Middle Ages and in their daily work. Boots, jacket and pit lamp are provided to the visitor.   More information about Goldhausen, Eisenberg and visitor mine HERE

Restaurant-Cafe Strandhaus No12 am Edersee ↗

Gastronomy & restaurant tips in Waldecker-Land

We would also like to round off a beautiful day of excursions with culinary delights. Here we therefore call you our personal favourite places in the Edersee region and in the Waldecker country. For more info KLICK on the names!   Beach house No12 - probably the best restaurant/café directly on Lake Eder is located on the lake promenade in Waldeck-West. In this traditional house you sit relaxed on the terrace by the lake (on cool days in the house with large panoramic windows) and enjoy food of any kind, the view of the lake and the quiet bustle at the in-house beach bath. Fischhaus in Niederwerbe (on the side arm of Lake Eder near the summer toboggan run) is the gastronomy of the fish farm Rameil. Built in a log house with beautiful terrasse on pontoons in an ex-fish breeding pool, you can enjoy here noble fish directly from the grill or fresh from the smoke with fried potatoes in herb shmand. Fresher fish can hardly be obtained - unless you fish him yourself. In the case of prolonged heat, smells can unfortunately occur due to strong algae formation in the pre-basin. MUN on the Sheid peninsula is a modern restaurant with beautiful terrace and lake view. The dishes from burgers to fish dishes are delicious and creatively prepared. Nice team... Fish stall in Rebach Although it is not a restaurant, but simply a wooden stall of the fish herb farm Edersee, but the freshly prepared fish rolls are great. We stop there on every bike tour and enjoy our fish bun right by the lake. Beach oasis in Rehbach Since 2020, it has been a new operator with Syrian roots. Since then, you can eat excellent outdoor food here in summer, although the ambience seems inconspicuous and simple. In high season, however, it is often not possible without reservation or long waiting times on a table and then an overload of service is possible. The wide range of grilled dishes and vegetarian dishes with oriental flavours of falafel, fish, lamb with sweet potato fries and crisp salads with interesting dressings make the special of the kitchen. Pancake house in the Alte Bahnhof Netze is the name program. Delicious pancakes of all kinds sweet and hearty. Located on the Ederseebahn cycle path in Waldeck nets, the pancake house is very frequented by cyclists on weekends. Children's playground available. Restaurant Athens in Waldeck there are Greek specialties in the middle of the small old town of Waldeck with courtyard terrace. Tasty grilled meat and the dishes are all deliciously prepared. Very popular restaurant with top reviews on Tripadvisor and Google. Restaurant Carthago in Bad Wildungens Brunnenallee is a top locality for Lebanese-oriental food culture. Many consider it the best restaurant in the place. The dishes are Mediterranean-oriental creations and served with design. An absolutely recommended address.   Café Knusperhäuschen - Traditional operation in Bad-Wildungen-Reitzenhagen with cult status and known from numerous TV reports because of their unique giant wind bag. Uriges house with beautiful summer garden. Inside the café is quite kitschy and time seems to stand there for decades - but that belongs to it. Wirtin Anne serves here since 1970 - and still today with a lot of heart blood. Chocolaterie & Patisserie Christian Bach in the Brunnenallee in Bad Wildungen is one of the leading pastry shops in Germany. In the café sloping opposite the Fürstenhof there are all kinds of sweet seductions of the top class, but also very good breakfast.   Ice manufacture "Lecko mio" - The Edersee has waited for such an extravagant ice rink. Directly on the gastro mile in Hemfurth at the dam since 2019 there is ice of a special kind - and daily different: hemp ice cream; strawberry pepper; Becks & Lemon; raspberry rosemary; whiskey; granny waffle dough; cucumber; Monday beer; poppy marzipan; nutella bread; rhabar bar vanilla; pineapple limette thyme... These are just some names of ice creams that you simply have to try. Everything is self-made.   Worshtkopp - if snack then here! Worschtkopp is a shop for regional products in Bad Wildungen-Reinhardshausen with integrated snack. Accordingly, the offer is designed; seasonal and regional food and drinks. From the "classic" currywurst with homemade sauces to some other burgers or dishes with goat cheese, Worshtkopp offers both culinary and an everyday snack.   Country house Appelbaum In the village of Vöhl is a "urig modern" country house with a creative touch. In the countryside you have to think up something and be good to keep the village at the pole. Here everything is right... Often times the house is not available on weekends wg. closed society. Therefore, if necessary check the homepage before. Walkemühle estate is located on the upper Eder at the gates of Frankenberg and is one of the most popular excursion restaurants in the region with an experience factor - motif of numerous TV reports. Here even the old mill wheel turns. The bourgeois cuisine is appealing... On summer weekends the large beer garden is destination of many Frankenberger and excursionists. There is a children's playground.   Taperia La Sartén in Bad Arolsen-Wetterburg on Lake Twiste. Spanish restaurant with very good Mediterranean cuisine. The nice owner and chef lives his Spanish mentality. Interior ambience with several levels and exposed timber - outside a large covered terrace + bar - partly with lake view. With lots of operation, the service is unfortunately sometimes a bit overwhelmed.   Schäfer's Restaurant - Lounge - Bar in the Schloßstraße is probably the first address in Bad Arolsen when it comes to indulgent cuisine. The kitchen is modern and upscale with Mediterranean and Asian influences. Creativity, selected products, attention to detail and seasonal influences characterize the offer, which is why the menu changes every six weeks. In the lounge there are casual snacks, salads, finger food and pasta dishes. Nice terrace in summer
