This hiking route requires good physical condition and, of course, sturdy shoes. The start of the hike is conveniently accessible by public transport. The route first leads past the Romkerhall waterfall at the foot of which, according to legend, a frog is sitting waiting to be kissed.

The route then passes the "Mausefalle" (mouse trap). It was so named because the large stone of the rock is only supported by a very narrow stone. Visually, it resembles a kind of trap. I wonder how long it will last. After about 2 km, the 8.7 km route takes you to the "Witches' Kitchen" and shortly afterwards to the "Käste Cliffs", where the guesthouse once stood. Apart from its foundation wall, there is unfortunately little to be seen here nowadays except for the stamp box at the crossroads.

The next smaller rock formation that one encounters while hiking the route is the Teufelsklippe (Devil's Cliff), followed by the much larger Marienwand (Mary's Wall), where one or two climbers can occasionally be seen scaling the steep rocks.

The route continues along the beautiful equalising basin at the Okertalsperre. Here the trees reach right up to the edge of the shore and provide a breathtaking view A great panorama! The last stop on this hiking trail is the "Engagement Island". Accessible via a small bridge, it invites you to take a picnic break.
