From Bopfingen, the route goes over the ruin at Flochberg and the Schlossberg back to the Alb ridge. Through the forest, the Albnordrandweg leads to Schweindorf. Through a game enclosure, we enter the Carthusian Valley. From here, the path takes on more the character of a valley trail. Rather below the Alb, it goes to Mönchsdöggingen. We pass the old monastery at the edge of the town and reach the lookout mountain Bockberg (570 m) through the forest. From there, we continue over the Harburg to the town of Harburg (Swabia).
