A very scenic hiking trail that leads past Schloss Fikensolt to Burgplatz Mansingen. Via the Torsholter Kirchweg, it goes past the "Möhlenbült" and the Friesendenkmal back to the starting point.

A good starting point for the hiking trail is at the intersection of Oldenburger Straße/Schlossweg. To the left is the training ground of the Ammerländer Riding Club, to the right a facility of the Böhje nursery. Shortly after crossing the disused railway tracks, you reach Schloss Fikensolt with an information board and audio station. Further on, a small path runs between two facilities of the Helmers nursery. After passing through a small forest, you reach Burgplatz Mansingen. An audio station provides information about the legend of the devil, who is said to guard a very valuable treasure here. After crossing the bridge, a short detour to the left is worthwhile, as you can visit the castle mounds there. Also worth seeing is the Freialtar, which recalls the former castle complex of the knights of Mansingen. Soon you reach the Torsholter Kirchweg, which runs through the Neuenburg state forest. On this section, you cross the disused
