So Close to Heaven: Starlit Moments over the Kellerwald
Stepping onto the terrace of Overlook Lodge at night and looking upwards, you feel it instantly: this darkness is something truly special. Far from the city lights, the night sky over the Edersee reveals its most impressive side. The band of the Milky Way stretches clearly across the firmament, and countless stars twinkle with an intensity rarely seen in Central Europe anymore.
Lights, Camera, Overlook Lodge: Our Video Spot
Sometimes, pictures simply say more than a thousand words, especially when it comes to the feeling of tranquility, nature, and genuine luxury. That’s why we’ve come up with something very special and opened our doors for an exciting project. In close collaboration with the creative minds at Kassel Reels, three unique promotional videos have been created, showcasing our 5-star lodge at its finest.
Experience Nature, Strengthen Networks: Partner Meeting of National Park and Nature Park Partners
The partnership with the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park thrives on exchange, shared goals, and people who are passionately committed to the region. At this year’s partner meeting at the Landhaus and Romantikhotel Bärenmühle, numerous partner businesses came together to network, learn about news, and collectively look toward the future of our unique natural and cultural landscape.
Quality Time with Family and Friends
There are moments in life that cannot be planned. They arise naturally. Over shared breakfasts. During long conversations late into the night. While cooking, laughing, and being together with the people who matter to you.
It is precisely for these moments that the Overlook Lodge was created.
Hof Lauterbach Grain Distillery
Those who explore the region around Lake Edersee will discover not only impressive nature, idyllic hiking trails, and historic sites, but also true treasures of North Hessian culinary culture. One such insider tip is the traditional Hof Lauterbach Grain Distillery near Vöhl, just a few kilometers from the Overlook Lodge.
Edersee Atlantis
This summer, Lake Edersee reveals its most mysterious side. Due to exceptionally low water levels, the so-called Edersee Atlantis becomes visible – the villages that had to make way for the construction of the Edersee Dam over 110 years ago. What usually lies hidden deep beneath the surface now reappears, transforming the valley floor into an impressive landscape of historic walls, ancient paths, and vast fields.
