The route leads from the edge of the Harz to the northwesternmost mountains of the Harz.

Technically an easy route with longer ascents, hardly any trails, but with beautiful views into the Harz foreland. It initially goes north along the Harz cycling route before the route leads uphill into the forest and finally winds back to the edge of the Harz with frequent changes of direction.
