District:
Park on the banks of the River Sauer, which flows into the northern part of the Fleckenstein Pond.
(S/E) Head south from the Fleckenstein Pond via the GR®531, marked with blue rectangles, and follow it for almost its entire length.
(1) Before the dam, at the beginning of the bend, take the small path on the left that leads to the lake and the campsite. Continue to the Froensbourg farm.
(2) Stay on the GR®531, which goes around the farm on the right, and continue along the forest path marked with blue rectangles until you reach the junction with the forest road.
(3) Cross the road and take the path opposite, which climbs up to Froensbourg Castle and arrives at the foot of the south rock. Go around it by taking the narrow path on the right that climbs up to the north rock: signposted Château Froensbourg.
(4) You can visit the semi-troglodytic castle built on two rocks; access is via several flights of rocky steps and wooden and metal staircases.
(4) Take the gently sloping forest path towards Fuchsberg and join the forest path that supports the GR®53, marked with a red rectangle.
(5) Follow this forest path to a multi-directional crossroads.
(6) Take the second path on the right, towards "Rocher de l'Étang" (Fleckenstein Rock): marked with a red ring. Descend this steep path to the rock overlooking Fleckenstein Pond: view of the pond and surrounding hills.
(7) Retrace your steps after enjoying the view.
(6) Take the forest path on the right and descend, following the red ring markings. Pass a small picnic area on the right before returning to the car park (S/E).
