himalia11 Says: Asel is one of the villages that had to give way to the lake in 1914. Several people moved a bit north and founded the village that was called Asel again. There’s also “Asel-Süd” on the other side of the lake. At the place of the former town still is a bridge which was build...
himalia11 Says: The Edersee is one of the largest dam reservoirs of Germany. It was my second visit to the lake and I always come to the wrong time, when the lake has very few water. The reason for this is that the lake is used to provide the Mittelland Canal with enough water. Plus the...
himalia11 Says: Schloss Waldeck is a castle next to the town Waldeck and was built in the 12th century. When you enter the castle, you first pass three gates, and then you are in the inner court. Inside the castle is a hotel and also a museum. The museum is called “Hinter Schloß und Riegel”...
vichatherly Says: After visiting the Eder dam, we got directions to this museum from the information booth situated on the dam.We drove to the short distance and took a look around the small but nicely done place. Part of the museum shows videos in German, and we caught the end of “The...
Take a Cable Car up to the Castle
vichatherly Says: Nearby to the Waldeck Schloss Hotel is a cable car which takes you down to the north shore of the Edersee. The return trip doesn't take that long, and the cars are fairly sturdy, although just about big enough to seat two adults. We took the cable car down as it gave us a...

Waldhotel Wiesemann: Hotel with lake view
himalia11 Says: The hotel is located below Waldeck, next to the lake. You just need to cross the road to reach the lake. We had booked a room but instead got an apartment, for the same price. The apartments are in a building next to the hotel building, and we had a large balcony with nice...
Helpfulness
So that's what we actually did, have taken a break from our drive on A7, and had a pleasant & windy visit of Waldeck castle. Had some nice, fresh seafood & tea at castle's restaurant. Service, atmosphere, view on the lake are great. Very nice, and also no long wait. Yet, as it's often common in Germany, they do dinner only from 12:00 to 14:00.
