    The Steiger Loop (approx. 18 km) – Cuxloch, Försterkranz, Wildenstall. These rare place names are on the route and promise a wild area, right in the middle of 2 core zones of the South Harz Karst Landscape Biosphere Reserve.

    Perhaps many mysterious stories also happened around today's ruins of Grillenburg. The Steiger Loop provides insights into the history of copper mining over 800 years old, which shaped people, landscape, and life in the Harz foreland region. The path leads you further – through intact, vast forests and to the idyllic "Kunstteich" pond, which invites you to swim and rest.


    This will make you fit for the subsequent mining educational trail and a cable ride in the Wettelrode show mine:
