Just 800 metres northwest of the Großer Heibeekskopf and thus in the direction of the Scheffeltalsköpfe lies the crosstracks of Knollenkreuz (ca. NN; ), which is checkpoint no. 152 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network; the checkpoint box is located right next to the refuge hut called the Hentschelköte. The crossing is on the footpath from Bad Lauterberg to the highest mountain in the South Harz, the Großer Knollen.
