Discover Anraff: Eder floodplains, cycle routes and canoe tours

Anraff combines a distinctive river landscape with a variety of opportunities for active and eventful days on holiday. The Eder floodplains, designated long-distance cycle routes and activities associated with the village, such as adventure canoe tours and donkey hikes, allow you to give your trip different focuses. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Anraff can therefore consider whether their own holiday concept should be shaped more by cycling, nature by the water or shared activities with children.

Eder Floodplains between Bergheim and Wega

Anraff is part of the “Eder Floodplains between Bergheim and Wega” nature reserve in Edertal. The area is a 70.65-hectare flowing-water landscape with riparian forest and was designated in 1977. The protected area includes a seven-kilometre stretch of river with adjoining riverbank areas. This gives the landscape around Anraff a clearly natural character: the focus is on the Eder, its banks and the riparian forest.

If you enjoy observing landscapes on holiday and arranging your days around a river, Anraff provides a suitable starting point for further planning. Those who mainly want to combine different activities will also find several named options in and around the village, without having to commit the trip to a single activity.

Cycling along the Eder

The Hessian long-distance cycle routes R5 and R6 run close to the village along the banks of the Eder near Anraff. This provides cycle tourists with a specific point of reference for planning their day.

When looking for accommodation, you can use your preferred holiday rhythm as a guide: cyclists should consider the planned location in relation to the banks of the Eder, while families or mixed travel groups can also choose according to the activities they would like to experience during their stay. The landscape and the designated routes provide concrete points of reference for this.

Canoe tours and donkey hikes

The tourist activities associated with Anraff include adventure canoe tours and donkey hikes. Particularly specific is the mini tour on the Eder: it is recommended for parents with children who have no paddling experience and ends in Anraff. For families looking for a shared activity on the water, this endpoint is an important part of their planning. At the same time, there is room for a different way of spending the day, for example with a cycling tour or time in the river landscape.

The donkey hikes add another accent. Together with the canoe tours, they show that trip planning does not have to be limited solely to the cycle route or observing nature. When choosing a holiday apartment in Anraff, you can therefore first decide which of these options should define the holiday and which activities you would like to consider only as additions.

The Anraff Bridge and the campsite

A campsite with seating areas was created along the seven-kilometre stretch of river at Anraff Bridge. This specific point adds a named riverside location to the description of the Eder floodplains.
