The circular tour leads through the scenic area around the villages of Wenden, Linsburg, Stöckse and Sonnenborstel through the "Krähe" state forest and past the Giebichenstein, the burial mounds (archaeological nature trail) and Lake Stöckser See. The Giebichenstein is the largest boulder in Lower Saxony (207 tons).
According to legend, the giant Hans Lohe wanted to throw a large, heavy stone at the Wölpe church tower in revenge on the people of Wölpe. Dwarf King Giebich knew about the revenge plans and used his mysterious power to steer the flying stone in a different direction. As a result, it landed at the giant's feet in the "crow". The stone is still called Giebichenstein today after the benevolent Giebich.
The alternative route leads through the Feldmark from Linsburg station to Stöckse.
