Altendorf mountain circuit via Sonnenberg.
The VitalWeg 7 takes you on an 8-kilometre, characterful circular tour with wonderful views and sporting highlights!

Start at the Parking lot at the ponds and hike uphill through the forest and then over the Sonnenberg near Negenborn, where crisp climbs reward you with impressive panoramic views over the Leinetal.

The route continues through the Altendorfer Berg nature reserve, a scenic gem with unspoilt nature and sweeping views.

Note:

The hiking trail at the end of the Altendorfer Berg (approx. km 5.5 to 5.8) is currently (as of August 2025) slightly overgrown in places.

Whether as a sporting challenge or an enjoyable tour with friends - the VitalWeg 7 gives you fresh energy, nature experiences and unforgettable views.

Go for it, feel the power of the hills - and be inspired by the variety of this loop. 🌄✨
