Reitlingstal - Evesser Berg

The starting point of this geological trail is the car park to the east of the "Reitling" restaurant. Nature and highly interesting geological features characterise the eastern Reitlingstal valley. From April to July, a concert of birdsong accompanies you on this geo-route; wild plants and small animals impress with their colours and shapes.

The Geopfad Reitling initially follows the route of an ancient smugglers' path into the headwaters of the Wabe. A highlight of your hike is "Teufelsküche" on the edge of the Herzberger Grund. Past the pond area at the Reitling pasture farm, which is interesting from an ornithological point of view, you return to the starting point. 

The circular route is around 4.5 kilometres long and is mostly on easy paths. "Stalking trails" branch off from the main route in three places, which require robust clothing and footwear.

Approach: From Königslutter southwards on the L 290, after Tetzelstein turn right onto the L 629 to Reitlingstal.
