Directions

The starting point for this easy, well over 8 km long hike is at the intersection Wiedaer Straße – Harzstraße – Ellricher Straße. From here, the route begins on the street "Unter den Schießeichen" towards Eulenpark. From there, continue alongside the Wieda on the Magister-Eckstorm-Weg to the geological natural monument "Kupferschiefer Aufschluss". After passing this, continue along a part of the Kaiserweg to the Itelteich (still a cultural-historical and technical monument today). Then proceed to the Walkenried Hexentanzplatz or the Ellricher Blick. Under the viewpoint runs a railway tunnel, which played an important role during the time Germany was divided. It is said that some refugees hid here and tried to escape through the tunnel. To the east, there is a beautiful view of Ellrich and the surrounding area. Freshly strengthened and stamped (stamp 167), the route then leads from the Hexentanzplatz through the Himmelreich, to which the monks gave a Christian name as a counterpart to the pagan Hexentanzplatz, and back to the starting point via the hiking trail.
