Here is a solution which based on the depth first listing solution of @dbenham,
and enables to set minimum level as well.

@echo off
setlocal
set currentLevel=0
set maxLevel=%2
if not defined maxLevel set maxLevel=1
set minLevel=%3
if not defined minLevel set minLevel=0

:procFolder
pushd %1 2>nul || exit /b
if %currentLevel% lss %maxLevel% (
  for /d %%F in (*) do (
    if %currentLevel% geq %minLevel% echo %%~FF
    set /a currentLevel+=1
    call :procFolder "%%F"
    set /a currentLevel-=1
  )
)
popd

To set the minimum level just provide it as 3rd parameter.
For example: to list from level 2 to level 5, you could use

listDirs.bat target_path 5 2

Alternatively, you can list from the base level by leaving this parameter empty

listDirs.bat target_path 5
