The circular route starts on the edge of the city center above the vocational schools only 950 meters from Siegen main train station. The route takes the runner up Fischbacherberg and through tall beech forests, crosses the Siegen Flowtrail - a mountain bike trail - several times and partially runs along the Jakobsweg and the Achenbacher circular route.

The forest area at Fischbacherberg (371 m above sea level) lies 2 kilometers west of the city center. Partly, the running loop runs over broad paths of the historic Achenbach circular hiking trail, through beech forests, and past the highest point, "Buberg" (380 m above sea level). The presented running loop of 8.3 kilometers crosses the Flowtrail, a mountain bike terrain trail opened in June 2017, several times, which leads down to the Numbach.

The route was developed by the regional running portal "Laufen 57", Frank Steinseifer

After 2.4 kilometers, run left up the path past the allotment gardens, then turn right at the top onto Allensteiner Straße (2.7 km), after an asphalt section follow the path to the right below the barrier. You run on this path until the 3.9-kilometer mark, at the junction at "Kleinen Buberg" (transmitter) turn left (towards Achenbacher Quelle).

After 4.2 kilometers turn left at the junction, after 200 meters go straight at the fork, then right along the former shooting range. After 4.6 kilometers run left down the gravel path, at kilometer 5 turn left past the large spruce and after 5.2 kilometers sharply left.
