Parking in the centre of the village, Place de l'Église, near the Tourist Office. Blue ring marked trail.
(S/E) Head west on Rue de la Zorn.
(1) At the fork, turn right onto Rue du Ballerstein, keep right at the next intersection and then pass a road on your right. Follow the blue ring markings.
(2) At the next fork, take the path opposite and on the right, which climbs steeply (the loop of this circuit starts here, marked by the Club Vosgien blue ring sign). After passing the Rocher des Corbeaux viewpoint, join Rue du Ballerstein.
(3) Continue on the right and reach the hamlet of Grand Ballerstein, continuing to follow the Anneau Bleu signs.
(4) At No. 18, turn left. When you reach the forest, turn right and follow the Anneau Bleu signs.
(5) Near a green post, turn left and follow the blue ring markings.
(6) At Heidenschlossfels, head east again along the path (Anneau Bleu). This path winds for nearly 3 km along a magnificent rock face called the Geisterfelsen (rock of spirits or ghosts). This enchanting place will delight children.
(7) When you leave the forest, you will either return:
- to the right, along the road for 200 m, and to the left, following the same route you took on the way there, to return to the centre of the village.
- left to continue on a path (yellow triangle) until you reach the entrance to a place called Hopstein. This last option is shown on the map.
(8) Leave the street by taking the small path opposite. Continue along Rue des Jardins, then turn right to return to the car park in the centre of the village (S/E).
