Fox Hill and Beinumer Forest

The hiking trail is designed as an out-and-back route. Since the narrow path cannot be represented one-to-one on the digital map, please pay close attention to the signage in the forest. A one-way route is about 4.5 km long, so the total distance for the round trip is over 9 km. In the past, an alternative route was offered for the return journey, but it has since become overgrown. Please stay on the ridge path. This route passes through a special forest area, which has its own focus in the Salzgitter nature atlas: Section 4 Fuchsberg and Beinumer Wald. Influences of mining and agriculture on landscape design become visible. Strong contrasts between adjacent sections of deciduous and coniferous forests are clearly noticeable. For this hike, one should immerse themselves in the unique fauna and flora along the way. At the end of the simple route, at the turning point of the tour, there is a playground with benches for a break next to the cemetery in Engerode.
