If you start in Aue, the path leads you about 8 km past the Wallburg Aue to the village of Birkefehl with its archaeologically significant Iron Age burial field (map on the right, red route). If you choose the return option (orange route), you will find five more stations that are also geologically remarkable and experience a very varied hike of another 10 km.
