We had a very nice hike, though there were at least four obstacles. The forestry office really needs to come and clear the surrounding trees from the trails. It was just barely manageable. Otherwise, it's absolutely beautiful here. We saw lots of mushrooms, even a red fly agaric. The witch's staircase is very interesting and worth seeing.

The Witches' Staircase is highly recommended and quite cool. A great hiking trail.

The Neukloster Forest is a beech forest with trees up to approximately 200 years old. Originally used by the monastery for which it is named, it is home to several, sometimes rare, animal and plant species. A short hike of about 4.5 km through the Neukloster Forest is wonderful. From the Pfingstmarktplatz parking lot, the W4 hiking trail leads into the forest, passing historical and archaeological treasures such as burial mounds and wayside crosses. Follow the signs to the Friedwald parking lot and turn left there to return to the Pfingstmarktplatz parking lot.
