Tip: Of course, the long loop (19 km) can also be divided into two shorter loops. The northern loop between Blockhaus and Silberkuhle is 11,2 km long and can be started at Blockhaus or at the Silberkuhle parking lot (if starting at the Silberkuhle "Panoramahütte," the starting point is about 6,5 km away). The southern loop via Hespert and Heidberg is 12,5 km long; the Silberkuhle hiking parking lot is recommended as the starting point. Those who would like to stop at the "Ballebäuschen" restaurant at the end can also hike the southern loop in reverse (via "Straße der Arbeit" through Silberkuhle, on X12 to Heidberg, then with W and the Panoramasteig trail to Hespert), in which case the restaurant stop is about 10,5 km away.
