Course of the Circular Trail
With a length of 18.6 km, the long tour of the circular hiking trail W6 includes the most important points of the short and medium tour, but first leads northwest along the foot of the Süllberg.

After a while the forest opens up on a heath area. Back in the forest again, the path takes us across the northern side of the Hesterberg until we come to another car park with an information board and a shelter at the edge of another heath area.

A short hike of about 600 m through the heath leads us to the Gaussian Memorial Stone on the Hausselberg.  To the south it passes the Hesterberg on its way to Lutterloh. Just before the village there is a heath area with three spruces, which are listed as a natural monument.

Southeast of the village, a side path to the left takes us to the Heath Adventure Trail Schillohsberg. Back on the hiking trail again, it finally meets the medium tour at Theerhof.

The long tour is marked with a large heather-coloured circle next to the pictogram.

Profile of the Route
The hike takes us partly along narrow forest paths and sandy paths along extensive heathland areas and with a slight incline up to the hilltops.
