Route description:

From the Kegelbrücke at the town hall, the street leads over the Saydaer Straße and Jahnstraße into the Bärenbachtal (nature reserve). After the sports field, we continue into the Bärenbachtal, leaving the Bärenbachteich behind. The forest road leads slightly uphill into the forest, crossing the Bärenbach. At the next intersection (shelter), we turn right onto the Hasengründelweg, which continues after a short ascent as a hillside path. After a hollow, the yellow marked path is crossed at the forest edge towards the Hand intersection. Continuing straight, finally downhill, the Forstgartenweg is reached. We follow this downhill to Poppschen Gut. The street leads through the residential area; before the parking lot, we turn right onto the Brettmühlenweg, the branching Tempelweg leads back to the starting point. (circular hiking trail)
