The circular hiking trail around Stolberg leads at a medium height around the town and castle. Many benches invite you to linger with a great view. At the beginning, there is a small ascent, several entry points, slightly narrow in a few places but otherwise not very demanding.

On the well-developed hiking trail around Stolberg, you can enjoy a great view over the town and castle; some benches along the path invite you to linger. There are entry points in the form of stairs or steps approximately every 500 meters. The path becomes slightly narrower in the curves but is still easily walkable. After descending the Himmelsleiter, a narrower path leads to Stolberg station. There you cross the Thyra and ascend behind the Thomas Müntzer monuments to reach the hiking trail again. Following the final descent, you arrive at Töpfergasse, which you follow along the beautiful half-timbered houses into Reichen Winkel. The street Neustadt and the market follow, featuring the beautiful town hall, and then you continue along Rittergasse past the "Kleines Bürgerhaus" museum. Afterwards, you reach the Rittertor and return to the starting point at the festival square.
