The easier variant of crossing the Harz leads from the northern edge of the Harz over the western High Harz down into the South Harz.

The route begins with a steep climb leading into the northern Harz mountains. Then it descends to the Oker Dam, which is one of the largest dams in the Harz. The path goes straight there, allowing strength to be gathered for the upcoming mountains. The path continues uphill to Torfhaus and then slightly downhill to Odereich. From there, it continues along ditches through the mining town of St. Andreasberg. The end of the route follows an undulating profile towards the Oder valley. The Bismarck Tower near Bad Lauterberg offers a magnificent view of the South Harz mountains.
