We go on Bruchbergweg towards Dörfelteich, which is reached at the forest edge - at the pond a short detour to the left - further uphill through the Dörfelbachtal past Basteifelsen to the Schaaldenkmal on the Königsweg, which is crossed – the path continues along the Dörfelbach - at the next junction – keep right to Hammerweg – downhill the EB (red) - long-distance path is reached, passing the Anton Günther Stone and the ski lift – over a meadow path to the right to Heidenweg towards Dörfel – at the junction in Dörfel it goes back via Heidenweg and Bruchbergweg (turn right) to the starting point.
