The tour leads from the copper mine (tour) towards Fischbach about 500m along the stream to a shelter, after crossing the street we follow the hiking trail towards Bergen uphill, always following the stream. At the end of the stream do not follow the trail to the left, but to the right over the stream and about 200m back on the orographically left side and then left up the path (wooden sign Bergen), at the heights turn left past a pasture to the asphalt road, then follow this to the left to a small wood in the left curve and right onto a field path. Follow this to the next asphalt road then about 200m to the right. At the forest edge over the next field path to the signpost K 13, follow this to the right, follow the hiking trail to Kirn-Sulzbach. In Kirn-Sulzbach at the church take K 12 up the Bergstrasse to the junction "Edendell" then follow the signs into the Nahe valley, past the loop then right follow the path (Fischbach, copper mine). Over the heights to Bergen, scenic high above the Nahe valley towards Kirn-Sulzbach, further to the only working agate double loop in Europe, further along the historic mill race to Fischbach, back via the Schlefferweg to the copper mine.
