"The Hidden Village" Circular Hiking Trail Bad Gandersheim – Ellierode RW 4

At the edge of the parking lot, we cross the Gande and immediately turn right behind the viaduct up the road "Am Osterbergsee." At the senior center, the path turns right and meets the former railway track. We follow the track to the left, and the trail markers guide us to the railway underpass. Behind the underpass, we keep left and then climb a path up on the right after about 100 m. This crosses the federal road B 64 and reaches the Kriegerweg, which you follow a short distance to the right before turning left towards the airfield. A field path gently ascends and then splits halfway. We follow the left fork to the impressive group of trees called "Three Oaks." Here, we go down a short distance left along the field path, then turn right onto a grassy path that soon leads into a wide farm track, which we follow right into the forest to the next fork. Here, we go left to a turning area, then straight ahead over a narrow path to the edge of the forest. Now, continue to the next trail junction and then left towards Ellierode.
Our path merges into the road "Am Hackelberg" in Ellierode. Here we keep left and ascend past the cemetery to the nearby forest edge. A forest edge path now leads us back to the outskirts of the village. An unpaved forest path soon joins the well-maintained Abbess Hill path, which we follow to the end of the forest. We walk down a field path and return via Wrescherode and the campsite back to Bad Gandersheim.
