    Wonderful circular route of about 10 km that starts and ends in Alverdissen. The route includes some climbs, but also great views of the landscape. A short detour (300m) to the windmill stump should be installed!

      The dwarf Anton legend
      Near Alverdissen lies a small bush, formerly called the Küsterbusch, but now it's called Helle; in the past dwarfs used to live under one stone. Once upon a time there was a man who was supposed to pay 200 thalers he borrowed and could not. Then he went out sadly, and as he goes, suddenly a dwarf stands before him, who asks him what he is lacking. Then he told him everything, and the dwarf told him to come with him. Then they went to the stone in the light, and the dwarf disappeared in it, but soon afterwards he came out with 200 talers; he gave them to the man and said, "I lend them to you, but throughout the year, by day and by hour, I must have them again. Then just come and call: Anton! So I come and take it from you. "The man has gone home happily and has come back at the right time after a year, but for a while he called in vain. At last another dwarf came out of the stone and told him: "Anton is dead. Just go home quietly and keep your money."
