From Stecklenberg to Friedrichsbrunn

Short description

Stecklenberg - Wurmtal - Mailaubenkopf - Friedrichsbrunn (approx. 8 km)

Description

This hike starts in Stecklenberg and leads on gently ascending paths to the district of Friedrichsbrunn, situated around 350 meters higher. Along the way, you will pass the historic Heerstraße, which once connected Quedlinburg and Nordhausen.

Route description

The starting point of this hike is the trail signpost at Stecklenberg Church. Following the signs for Friedrichsbrunn (green triangle), the trail initially ascends Wurmtal-Straße until reaching the Nature Friends House at the edge of the village. Proceed along the course of the Wurmbach stream until the path forks at the upper end of Wurmtalwiese. For a detour to the ruins of Lauenburg, about 500 meters away, take the path that crosses the Wurmbach to the left. However, the main route to Friedrichsbrunn continues straight ahead, still marked with the green triangle.
On well-developed forest roads, you will reach and cross Jagdhausstraße (red square), from where you immediately turn left over Mailaubenkopf until you reach the road to Friedrichsbrunn. Continue on the hiking trail parallel to the road until you reach the entrance of Friedrichsbrunn, where you turn right into Schreiberring. Turning left onto Schreiberstraße will lead you to Friedrichsbrunner Hauptstraße, which descends to the tourist information in the town center. Here you will also find the central trail signpost and the bus stop.
