The pond provides a lot of variety along the way. You can also see different species of birds there, before it goes up again and into the forest. From the karst path you have another view of the pond.

Priorteich Karst Pond

Highlight • Lake

This path between Bad Sachsa and Walkenried has its special charm in every season. Recommended are detours to Sachsenburg, Zwergenschmiede and Priorteich.
In Walkenried worth a visit to the Cistercian monastery.
