On leaving Sondernach coming from Munster, head towards the Petit Ballon. After crossing the Fecht, park on the hard shoulder at the hairpin bend.
(S/E) From this spot, take the dirt track heading due south, following the bend in the road, until you reach the sign on the left indicating “Mont Sidi Brahim”. Turn left onto the narrow path that climbs through the woods. The route is marked by “Mont Sidi-Brahim” arrows or Yellow Discs at the edge of the path.
(1) Reach the D10 and turn right. Follow the road to the first hairpin bend on the left.
(2) Leave the road by taking a wide track and, after about 100 m, take the path uphill to the left. Join a wide track.
(3) Turn right and follow the track.
(4) At the junction, ignore the track going straight ahead and turn left.
(5) 100 m further on, take the path on the right leading uphill.
(6) At the crossroads, turn left 180°. Cross a track and continue along the steep path, which winds its way up to the memorial. The terrain is still scarred by the fighting of that era: shell holes, trenches and shrapnel.
A break is in order, as is a moment of reflection at the site of the fighting.
(7) For the descent, there are two options: either retrace your steps in the opposite direction, following the markings, or take the gentler route down via Landersen. This is the route shown on the map.
Follow the marked path, continuing straight on at every junction, whether the paths come from the right or the left.
This will take you to Landersen, next to a memorial stone on your right.
(8) Follow the road round the bend, then immediately afterwards, head downhill along a path on the right. Ignore the wide track heading off to the left, towards the south-west. Cross the road further down. Turn left and rejoin the fork from the outward journey.
(2) After the hairpin bend on the right, turn left downhill and, following the route in reverse from the outward journey, return to the starting point (S/E).
