Moderate route with start and end at Torfhaus.
From the large Torfhaus parking lot, located on the B4, you first walk along the road.
Behind the Torfhaus Harzresort, turn left into the trail on the Goetheweg along the Abbegraben and along the Brockenfeld to the Dreieckiger Pfahl.
After the climb to Eckersprung, go left past the Quitschenberg on a long descent. The trail makes a detour along the Kaiserweg (here you can shorten the route by keeping left) before returning to Torfhaus via the Schubenstein.
