We cross the village street "Alte Heerstraße" and go straight through the street "An der Heimbach" into the Heimbach Valley. The narrow footpath takes us from Fellen in the valley up to the Werlauer Höhe, the "Hartenberg", where we turn left at the second intersection. From the Telekom transmission station, we go left along the edge of the slope with magnificent views to the "Pilz" and further left around the farm "Auf der Schanz" to the vineyards.
We follow the paved vineyard path until just before the state road coming from St. Goar, then walk under the road across a meadow path to the Rheingoldbad parking lot.
We follow the paved service road to the forest, where we take the Ore Trail past the Werlauer mine up to the "Rehstall" hiking parking lot. We cross the state road and take the next path to the left to Boxberger Hof. At the large themed information board, we take the left path and come to the hiking parking lot at the spoil heap. Here we turn right and pass a barbecue hut. Our path leads us downhill into the Brandswald.
The paved road takes us past the former Brandswald forester's lodge and the Brandsweiher. Then we turn left and walk past a residential area on a forest path to the "Prinzenstein" viewpoint. From here you enjoy another magnificent view. Now the path leads us right and to the district of Fellen, where we reach our start and finish point at the "Spritzenhaus" via the "Alte Heerstraße".
The path is continuously marked with wooden signs with the mine symbol.
