Vöhl

Geschichte

Vöhl is a community in Waldeck-Frankenberg in Hesse, Germany not far southwest of Kassel.GeographyLocationVöhl lies in the northern part of the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park on the Edersee, a man-made lake.It is located 40 kilometers southwest of Kassel.Neighbouring communitiesVöhl borders in the north on the town of Korbach, in the east on the town of Waldeck and the community of Edertal, in the south on the towns of Frankenau and Frankenberg, and in the west on the town of Lichtenfels (all in Waldeck-Frankenberg).Constituent communitiesVöhl consists of the following mostly quite small centres spread out northwestwards and southeastwards from the western end of the Edersee.

It is thus divided into two parts: Asel "proper" lies on a mountain north of the Edersee. Asel-Süd lies on the northern slope of the Kellerwald, on the lake's south shore and right on the northern boundary of the Kellerwald-Edersee park. Furthermore, Asel, just like Bringhausen a short way to the east, lies in a "dead end", at least from a traffic engineering point of view, meaning that it can only be reached from the western end of the lake from Herzhausen through Harbshausen, as barely any roads run through the hardly developed northern part of the Kellerwald.
