This beautiful circular hiking trail through the Osterode karst landscape is marked with blue trail markers No. 4.

Circular hiking trail through the diverse Osterode karst landscape starting directly on the outskirts of town (Dreilinden elementary school). Initially, you head via the Hördener Breite to the "Devil's Tower", then through the fields with a wonderful distant view up to the karst hiking trail on the Rötzel. Once there, you can enjoy a magnificent view over the hilly landscape, partially with grazing livestock. Directly at the Rötzel, there is a stamping point of the Harzer Wandernadel and a cozy bench invites you to rest. On an information board, you can learn about the special features of the region's flora and fauna.  The trail continues towards Beierstein following the karst hiking trail to Ührde. There is a place to eat on weekends. From there, it goes back towards Klingenhagener Weg, passing a riding stable to the starting point.
