The Kindelsberg path impressively connects great hiking trails with diverse flora and fauna, leads to numerous mining landmarks, and crowns it all with outstanding panoramic views.

The path starts above Kredenbach via Bussardweg and leads us into the Loher Tal nature reserve. 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. Constantly descending into the valley, we witness the impressive Siegerland mining, from now on accompanied by the Strumpf, Glücksanfang, Jungermann, and Kuhlenberg pits. Passing the Zitzenbach natural swimming pool, we go through the valley back to the starting point.
