There we turn right towards Bruchberg. Before the path becomes steep, it is a few meters to the Bruchberg (668 m). We walk a little back and follow the path steeply downhill to the left to Königsweg and the Schaaldenkmal. We have reached the Dörfelbachtal, which we follow downhill past the Dörfelteich.
