Very early at four thirty I got up to arrive in Schnega at first daylight. In Uelzen I had to change trains which just about worked out as my train from Hamburg was late. The section I hiked differently from the previous ones coming from the south. When arriving at Schnega-Station it had just become light enough for me to start my hike. Along a paved road I walked to Schnega where I reached the E6. Following the trail I went on a round cobble stone road to the Oldendorf Water Mill at Schnega Mill Creek. On I moved across many fields and again and again through forests to Reddereitz. At a little pond behind the hotel I took a brake sitting on a bench in the hazy sunshine. From now on it was mostly forest and very few fields.

I arrived at Mountain Hoher Mechthin in the early afternoon. There is tall observation tower on this 142 m high mountain. From the top I had a great view in all directions. As it was a hazy day I could not as far as is possible. Back down on the ground I stopped for another snack at the nearby hut. Finally I walked to the not far away community of Zernien. Early in the morning and now late afternoon I had seen deer. In Zernien I spend my waiting time for the Call Bus in a bakery. Later I had to wait in Dannenberg for the evening train to Lüneburg.
