We start at the St. Georg Church in Neustadt / Harz. "Steinstraße" and then "Torstraße" lead us over the state road to the left into "Rüdigsdorfer Weg". After a right turn, this becomes a dirt road. Then it goes to a wooded height. After we have crossed this, we go back down into a valley and then immediately get back to a ridge. The path to Rüdigsdorf takes us through a wooded area.
Continue straight ahead through Rüdigsdorf ("Wolfsgasse", "Winkelberg") and then continue on the country road in the direction of Nordhausen. After a long right turn on the country road, we turn left onto a field path. The path now leads uphill again. At the top we follow the ridge path and then go back down the mountain. The path becomes a concrete path shortly before Nordhausen and then becomes a road ("Am Kuhberg"). Continuing on "Gumpestraße" we reach federal highway 4, which we follow to the left in the direction of the city center on "Philosophenweg" and "Wallrothstraße".
We then turn half right into the street "Altendorfer Stiege". We reach the center via the streets "Altendorf", "Barfüsserstrasse", "Kranichstrasse" and "Engelsburg". At the town hall we reach the destination of the tour.
