Tucked along the northern shore of Edersee in northern Hesse, Waldeck is a town whose character is shaped by the broad reservoir and the wooded hills around it. Edersee was formed by damming the River Eder, and its long shoreline is central to recreation in the area. Above the town, Waldeck Castle recalls the former County of Waldeck and commands a position over the lake. Across Edersee lies Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, whose ancient beech forests are part of the UNESCO-listed Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.
