Hellegrund-Hartlah-Riesenberg-Graster Knick-Hellegrund

The starting point is the district of Hellegrund with a parking lot at the end of the road leading to the forest. On a narrow path, we walk slightly to the right in the forest until we reach a forest path on which we walk westward, partly steeply downhill, to the "Graster Knick." Here, one could take a short break and enjoy the view of the Sackwald opposite. Following the existing markings, we continue northward but soon turn at a right angle to the west. At the edge of the forest, with views of the villages of the joint municipality, we proceed on a forest path roughly toward the north until we reach a forest service road above the village of Netze, where there is a bench to rest. We continue at a right angle to the east on the forest gravel path, gently ascending into the "Lower Mountains," until after several switchbacks we see a fox sign ahead.

We follow the indicated direction, almost pathless but well marked, until we come upon a narrow path that we follow according to the directional arrows. Soon we are led southward and walk on a gravel path below the "Riesenberg" through the "Hartlah" back to the district of Hellegrund.
