This route follows the Old Salt Road through forests and villages in the Stecknitz region.

The last ice age made the first changes to the landscape of the Stecknitz region. It formed hills and valleys, in which lakes and rivers formed. Two rivers – straightened and connected – formed the Stecknitz Canal (now the Elbe-Lübeck Canal), on which the Stecknitz boatmen hauled their salt barges (reconstruction in Berkenthin) in the Middle Ages.

The circular trail leads – partly along the old towpath – along streams, over bridges, through forests, and idyllic villages to sights in the region (e.g., Berkenthin Church).
