From the car park it goes steeply uphill for just under 600 m on a natural path. At the top, turn right at a small forest crossroads and a gravel path. After just under 400 m at another small forest crossroads, continue straight ahead for about 500 m to an open area. After the signpost, turn right and continue for about 1 km to the gravel path, then turn left here. At the memorial stone we leave the forest edge and follow a grassy path eastward to a solid field path. The path leads to the district road. Follow the gravel road along the forest edge towards the charcoal hut. We continue southwards to the war memorial, then over the Rehbach stream. At the district road turn left, cross the street before the turning circle and walk up the street on the right. At the top, turn right and reach the sand pit. After 100 m turn left and follow a narrower gravel path. After about 600 m turn left, then after a few meters turn right into the forest and continue on the narrow path. After about 200 m turn left on a somewhat wider natural path. Then continue on a wider gravel path and after another 150 m again to the left on a narrower path that leads above the mountain lake.

Directions
From the car park very close to the mountain lake, the route first leads steeply uphill for just under 600 m on a natural path. Depending on precipitation in the previous days, this ascent can be very slippery. At the top you reach a small forest crossroads and come across a gravel path. From this crossroads you can take a short detour to the left (also a natural path, about 400 m round trip) to some particularly mighty beech trees. At the end of the detour you will find two information panels about the trees at this spot.
However, follow the circular hiking trail to the right on the gravel path. This first continues gently uphill. After about 400 m you reach another small forest crossroads. Here you walk about 500 m straight ahead on a fairly level stretch. You reach an open area and encounter a signpost, after which you turn right and enter denser forest. The natural path soon leads steeply downhill. Beware of slipping hazard! After about one kilometre you have made it and reach a firmer gravel path, on which you turn left.
On gravel paths you walk through the Brunietal valley and along the Hirtenbreite with many beautiful views. At the memorial stone for the burnt hunting tenant, we leave the forest edge and follow a grassy path eastwards to a solid field path. This leads past an orchard with wild fruit and a larger wetland at the Rehbach stream. The path emerges onto the district road. We now follow a gravel road along the forest edge towards the charcoal hut and charcoal kiln. A detour to the water treading facility and wellness trail Delliehausen is recommended here. Refreshed, we continue southwards to the war memorial and then over the Rehbach stream.
You reach the district road, turn left, cross the road before the turning circle and walk up the street on the right. At the top, turn right and reach the sand pit. In the sand pit, within the Delliehausen experience landscape, you find numerous information panels and a viewpoint on renatured parts of the sand pit.
After 100 metres, turn left and follow a narrower gravel path, first steeply uphill, then on flatter terrain, always going straight ahead. After about 600 m, turn left and after a few metres turn right into the forest, passing a small pond. Now follow the narrow path through the forest. After 100 to 200 m turn left onto a somewhat wider, often clayey natural path. After another good 100 m of gentle downhill terrain, you reach a more open area. Then continue on a wider gravel path until after almost 150 m you again turn left onto a narrower path. This path leads along above the mountain lake, which you can glimpse in several places. After about 300 m of slight downhill and uphill on this path, you return to your starting point at the car park by the mountain lake.
