Edertal

The Eder River and Edersee define the setting of Edertal — this Hesse municipality stretches through the river valley and near the reservoir’s eastern end, where wooded slopes, farmland and small settlements meet. Edersee was created by the Eder Dam, completed in 1914; the dam later became a wartime target during the RAF’s 1943 Dambusters raid. Nearby Kellerwald-Edersee National Park protects extensive beech forest and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.
