Family-friendly loop in the Drübeck recreational forest, Saxony-Anhalt.

The route follows sections of the Harz monastery hiking trail and the European long-distance hiking trail E11. A special sight is the former Klosterholz gypsum quarry, where nature is reclaiming the man-made terrain. Finally, you return to the starting point on the historic carriage path through quiet sections of forest.
