Getting Lost Allowed: Summer Experience at the Edersee Corn Maze
Sometimes it is precisely the small detours that make a summer day special. One such place is the Edersee Corn Maze near Vöhl‑Basdorf – a nature-oriented destination that combines exercise, play, and enjoyment in a relaxed way. Nestled in the open landscape around Lake Edersee, a summer experience awaits here that is both intriguing and decelerating.
Girls’ Getaways & Ladies’ Trips – Time That Connects
There are getaways that cannot be planned, but simply happen.
When conversations last longer than expected, laughter fills the room, and time suddenly takes on a different role.
It is precisely these moments that find their place at Overlook Lodge – a place where friendship is given space, everyday life becomes quieter, and time together naturally takes center stage.
When a Retreat Becomes a Film Set – Overlook Lodge as a Filming Location for “Tulpenkind”
Overlook Lodge stands for tranquility, nature, and conscious time-outs. For many of our guests, it is a place to switch off, pause, and intentionally distance themselves from everyday life. It was therefore all the more special for us that our house was recently allowed to take on a completely different role: as a filming location for the independent film “Tulpenkind.”
Segway Tours at Edersee and in Kellerwald

Those who wish to discover this special region in a way that is both relaxed and impressive will find SEGYTOUR to be an experienced provider of guided Segway tours in North Hesse and beyond.

A stay at the Overlook Lodge means one thing above all: arrive, breathe deeply, and experience the nature of Kellerwald-Edersee National Park with all your senses. Away from deadlines and daily hustle, special paths to deceleration open up here – one of them deliberately leads back to a leisurely pace: a carriage ride through the landscape around Lake Edersee.
Happy Easter
Spring settles over the Kellerwald like a gentle veil – the forests grow brighter, the air clearer, and the first warm days hint at how much a small getaway is needed right now.
We wish you a wonderful and relaxing Easter holiday from the bottom of our hearts.
May these days bring you peace, time for yourself, and moments where you can simply breathe.
Easter at Lake Edersee
As winter slowly bids farewell and spring bathes the Kellerwald in fresh green, one of the most beautiful times of the year begins at Lake Edersee. Easter here is more than just a holiday. It is a gentle awakening of nature, a moment of reflection, and a new beginning. Those who wish to consciously experience this special atmosphere will find a retreat at the Overlook Lodge vacation home on Lake Edersee, uniquely combining tranquility, nature, and comfort.
Overlook Lodge is Now a Tree Sponsor
Overlook Lodge makes a visible commitment to regional climate protection: Effective immediately, we are supporting the reforestation initiative of W. & L. Jordan GmbH and the affiliated W. & L. Jordan Foundation as a tree sponsor. What particularly excites us: The principle of the campaign is simple, transparent, and highly effective – because for every tree donated, Jordan plants another one. Thus, a small contribution has a double impact, right here in our home region.
Literary Spring 2026
