The quite demanding circular hiking route leads past the Rodelhaus, through the "Small and Large Bode Valley" up to the Achtermann with spectacular distant views. The path leads through the "Large Bode" valley to the "Triangular Post" at the former East-West German border. The fantastic distant view from the Wurmberg is the highlight of the hike before returning along the former border to the starting point.

Day two of my Harz hike takes me through the remnants of the former Harz forest from Sachsen-Anhalt to Niedersachsen. Distinctive points are the Wurmberg and the Achtermannshöhe. I mostly walk on forest tracks. From Wurmberg downhill, the route follows the service road.
