Vöhl is a community in Waldeck-Frankenberg in Hesse, Germany not far southwest of Kassel.
Vöhl 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.
Vöhl 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).
Vöhl consists of the following mostly quite small centres spread out northwestwards and southeastwards from the western end of the Edersee.
Asel is the only constituent community that lies on both sides of the man-made lake. It is thus divided into two parts:
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.
Basdorf lies on a mountain north of the Edersee. Part of it is a holiday village called Trappenhart, built above the village proper.
Dorfitter lies next to the circuit city Korbach. There live about 900 inhabitants. Famous is the picture of the canvas in the church. It's the oldest in Hesse.
Marienhagen is Vöhl's second biggest constituent community. Besides the lovely village heart built around the Evangelical church, there are also two "new town" areas. After the Second World War, many Germans who had been driven from lost territories to the east – most of them were from the Sudetenland – were integrated into Marienhagen. The current (16 August 2005) population is just below 1000.
