Passing the Loher Weiher, we hike through the Witschenberg quarry. It goes along a wall-like embankment to the Brüche Pit. On Hauberg paths, we reach the Brombach Forest Park via the Müsen Weidekampen. Through tall spruce stands (Feldmann's spruces) the path continues to the Wilder Mann mining area. On narrow paths, it goes through the Müsen cliffs (Pingenfeld Stahlberger Stock). Gaining elevation, we climb the Martinshardt. If the ridgeline path leading downhill gives us a small break, we then climb back up to the Kindelsberg parking lot. Only a short distance separates us from the staffed observation tower.'Well strengthened, we continue along a narrow path to the Waldesruh huts.
