Please note that it is now prohibited to drive on the forest road that leads to the starting point, and therefore also to park in the designated car park. This decision was made by the ONF (French National Forestry Office) in April 2025 🙄.... We received a warning on the windscreen of the vehicle, with a risk of a fine of €135.
Otherwise, the section leading to the stone cottage is missing from the route. Add 800m there and back. The entire climb is pleasant and shaded, perfect for hot days. However, there is nothing of visual interest, as there are no monuments, buildings or structures, and no viewpoints.

A pleasant and easy walk, well suited to hot days as it is mostly in the forest
we loved it!

The advantage of this circuit is that it is less frequented than other circuits in the same area. The first part, from Schaefferplatz to point 1, follows a forest path that is downhill, unpleasant, wide and very rutted by forestry vehicles; the circuit then continues along pretty, shaded paths.

Interesting route. The only thing that could be improved is the starting point. It would be better to start from the stone house instead of Schaefferplatz, as this would avoid a steep descent in the morning, which would then be postponed to the end of the route in the afternoon.

a superb walk with breathtakingly beautiful rock formations. I know the region but have never gone further than Haut Barr, and this place is fantastic. Definitely worth doing again

Hello,
Your explanations aren't bad, BUT in terms of location... you arrive on a forest road, go a few metres to the right, then to the left, blue rectangle... please replace 'road' with 'path', thank you.
Indeed, and we're surely not the first to make a mistake... and have to retrace our steps!

Naturally, being close to Saverne, when the weather is nice, the trail is quite busy with hikers of all kinds, especially families, but as soon as you stray a little from the car parks, it becomes quite peaceful. It takes about three hours and is not difficult.
Much of the route is shaded.

A lovely hike for those who enjoy being surrounded by nature. There are few open views, but most of the route follows a narrow path through the heart of the forest. There are some climbs in places, but nothing difficult.
