The car park is located next to the spa and rehabilitation centre. Alternatively, there is another car park at the Maison des Associations, next to the roundabout where the D27 and D250 roads meet.
(S/E) Leave the car park by heading towards the far end, relative to the D27 road to Haguenau, and turn left into a pedestrian path lined with plane trees. Continue straight on until you reach Route de Froeschwiller. Before joining the road, the pedestrian path runs alongside a park on the right-hand side where fallow deer are kept.
(1) When you reach Rue de Froeschwiller, turn left and go to the end of this street. Turn right into Rue des Vignes and follow it to the end. This street soon begins to climb. It is lined with Alsatian houses; those on the left-hand side are more traditional. Rue des Vignes leads onto the D148; take this road, turning right towards the village exit. A short distance further on, you will see a war memorial dedicated to those who died in the 1870 war on the right-hand side of the road.
Just as the D148 bends to the left and begins to descend, turn right onto a flat path.
Continue straight on. The path appears to end at a hedge: continue along the hedge on your right, and at the end of the field, the route continues along a clearly marked path that runs alongside trees and rejoins the D148.
(2) Turn right and follow the D148 downhill for about three hundred metres (walk carefully on the right-hand verge as you navigate the ‘S’ bend with limited visibility).
(3) Just after crossing the River Eberbach, turn right onto a path (metal barrier). Follow the river, which is obscured by fairly dense vegetation consisting of trees and shrubs. The path climbs gently. At the next junction, take the path on the left which moves away from the river and climbs up the hillside towards Forstheim. At the next four-way junction, continue straight ahead to reach a T-junction.
(4) Turn left onto a path which becomes a road called Rue de la Rivière and heads towards the houses in Forstheim. Turn right after the first buildings onto Rue des Près. The road soon turns into a path. Shortly afterwards, continue straight on at the junction with a street that leads into a path on the right. A little further on, the path runs past a large building on the right: this is a sawmill. Continue straight on behind the gardens located behind the houses in Forstheim.
(5) At the Y-junction, take the path on the right which leads towards orchards before running alongside fields. At the next junction, continue straight ahead. The path now descends, passes under a high-voltage power line and joins the D250 road.
(6) Turn right onto the D250 and follow it carefully until you reach the first houses in Eberbach. Cross the River Eberbach via a road bridge, and continue carefully along the D250 (Route de Morsbronn), which then climbs steeply up a valley to reach a plateau. There are two hairpin bends to negotiate before reaching the top of the hill. Pass under the high-voltage power line.
(7) Shortly afterwards, turn right onto a path which soon reaches the right-hand edge of the Jungwald Wood. Continue along the path that skirts this section of woodland until you reach a four-way junction. Turn left onto the track that descends towards the south-east. Just as it begins to climb very slightly, it reaches a junction with a small road and two other paths.
(8) Turn left and take the small road downhill. Continue to the junction with Rue de Froeschwiller after the pumping station. Turn right into Rue de Froeschwiller. Enter Morsbronn-les-Bains and return to the junction from the outward journey.
(1) Turn left into the pedestrian walkway. Follow it towards the Thermal Spa Centre and return to the car park (S/E).
