The path starts along the Walkenrieder fishing grounds, the Andreas, Sack, and Brun ponds, and leads between the Bruns and Sack ponds into the karst hiking trail, which you follow for a while. The ponds are really very idyllically located. The next highlights are the Sachseneiche, an approximately 850-year-old oak tree (natural monument), and the Helbing hut. From here, it is only a stone's throw to the first stamping point of the HWN on this hike, the Sachsenstein hut (stamp 166). Sitting in front of the Sachsenstein hut, you have a magnificent view of the Harz foreland with its varied fields. Rested, you can then head downhill to the next stamping point, the historic gypsum kiln (stamp 192), passing the Lorenz monument. After stamping your hiking passport, you can continue your way over part of the Neuhof circular trail 10 to the viewpoint at Mehholz. Via Kutzhütte and the Höllsteinklippen cliffs, the route impressively follows the forest edge back to the starting point, the station in Walkenried.
