The circular hiking trail no. 6 starts in Erkeln at the village church and leads you through the "Risskuhle" to the Erkeler Feld.
The path leads uphill. Some beautiful views of Erkeln are guaranteed on the way to the former radar station Auenhausen. On the left in the forest there is a quarry with a gravel plant. Before the radar station, turn left and then left again into the forest. You cross the L863 and walk briefly along the edge of the forest. The beginning meadow path leads you to the left. Before turning right back onto the gravel forest path, there is the possibility to follow the forest path downhill directly to Erkeln. This path leads on forest ground in the upper half, sturdy footwear is mandatory!
If you have followed circular hiking trail 6, you will reach the Erkeler shelter with a fireplace under mighty oaks. Follow the hiking trail downhill out of the forest. In the Erkeler Feld, at the wayside cross, you have the opportunity to shorten the path again and follow the tarred field path to the left towards Erkeln. Hiking trail 6 leads you straight ahead, downhill to Beller. Follow the path and reach Hembsen. Before the Hembsen primary school, turn left and reach Erkeln via the hiking/cycling path.
