This southern route of the Karstwanderweg is both beautiful and challenging at the same time. From Pölsfeld in the far east to Förste in the west, it offers plenty of opportunities to discover both the impressive nature and the charming places along the way. Divided into smaller stages, walked at your own pace with enough planning, it is a wonderful hike you will not forget quickly.

This is the second part of the Märzenbechertal circular route. From the end in the first part (Mittelstr.) to 'S' in this part, there is a well-marked path, which unfortunately is not shown on the map and therefore cannot be displayed here. So I simply made two parts out of it.

On beautiful paths to a dreamy view and a ruinThe southeastern edge of the Harz offers a diverse landscape. The different rocks in the underground create a varied relief. In the beech-rich deciduous forests, orchards, pasture, and fields, specially adapted fauna and flora have developed. This tour leads through the Pölsfeld gypsum karst landscape nature reserve in the east of the South Harz karst landscape biosphere reserve, one of three such ecosystem protection areas in Saxony-Anhalt.From Obersdorf, we hike along the Karstwanderweg to the Pufferberg, certified by the German Hiking Association as a "Quality Hiking Trail Walkable Germany." Alternating between forest and meadows, we repeatedly encounter small heaps from the former copper mining dating back to the 12th/13th centuries south and east of Pölsfeld. The first highlight is the Gedankenbank (thinking bench), which offers wonderful panoramic views of the Kyffhäuser and the Goldene Aue. Later we hike through the Pölsfeld forest to the mysterious Grillenburg ruin, possibly built around 1200 (stamping point for the Harz Hiking Badge). Afterwards, we return through the Gonnatal to the starting point.

    Die Strecke ist etwas anspruchsvoller und an zwei Stellen geht es auch eine ganze Weile steil bergauf aber trotzdem war es eine schöne Strecke. Die vorgegebene Route war am Ende leider sehr zugewachsen. Dort sollte man dann lieber einen anderen Weg unten lang gehen. Es gab auf dem Weg zwei Stempelstellen und ganz viele Brombeersträuche voller Beeren.

    Sehr schöne Gegend, aber den auf der Karte verzeichneten Weg kann man nicht mehr nehmen. Es gibt aber genug parallele Wege. Super zum Pilze sammeln und auch eine Menge Kräuter und Holunder findet sich.

    Der Weg ist sehr schön, vielfach durch Wiesen-Waldlandschaft oder artenreiche Wälder sowie der sehenswerten Ruine Grillenburg. Achtung: Die Karte stimmt nicht mit der Wegbeschreibung überein (insbesondere von Obersdorf über Pölsfeld zum Zollhaus; Stand 11.4.2021). Die Wegbeschreibung ist aber leicht anhand der Ausschilderung nachzuvollziehen. Also: Wegbeschreibung in Text beachten, Karte ignorieren!
