Departure from Turckheim at the obelisk and the car park located towards the west exit, Rue des Tuileries.
(S/E) Take the small road marked with a red ring signpost towards the west. Stay on Rue des Tuileries for about 500 metres and you will come to a fork after a row of buildings on your left.
(1) Leave the street and take the GR®532 marked with a yellow rectangle on the right. Shortly afterwards, leave the GR® on the right and continue straight ahead, following the green ring markings. Pass under the high-voltage power lines, keeping to the left on this path. Continue along the Rotenbach. Between two high-voltage power lines, the path turns left and crosses the stream and then the D11.
(2) Follow the road a few dozen metres to the right, then turn left a few hundred metres towards Rotenbuch.
(3) Continue along the Green Ring marked path, which crosses several unmarked paths, to the Bruderhauskapelle.
(4) From there, follow the marked Blue Cross trail, which soon climbs in a northward direction towards the Obschel. It reaches it just after another passage under the high-voltage lines.
(5) The Obschel is a remarkable farmhouse inn for lunch or just a drink. Leave the Blue Cross trail and cross the middle of the meadow opposite the farmhouse inn. Reach the GR®532 (Yellow Rectangle) which joins the Trois Épis. Follow it to the left for a few hundred metres to the north-east and, at the crossroads, take a sharp right turn to reach the Maierhof.
(6) Continue left on the GR® to Les Trois Épis via the Louise trail. This leads to the D11 (Rue Thierry Schoeré). Follow it downhill for a few steps. Just before the first bend in the road on the right, cross at the pedestrian crossing ( with caution) and take the path on the left towards Turckheim - Croix de Roggenmoser (Liebshel trail). Shortly afterwards, it meets the D11.2.
(7) Cross (with caution) and continue on the same path towards Hunnabuhl and Chapelle Saint-Wendelin. It joins a crossroads at the entrance to the hamlet of Hunnabuhl.
(8) Pay close attention to the signs on the right so as not to miss the trail leading to the Saint-Wendelin Chapel. Head east, leaving the locality on your left. Keep going in the same direction as you leave Hunnabuhl and join a wide path at the chapel.
(9) At the Saint-Wendelin Chapel, you have two options:
- continue straight ahead to the starting point (via Chevalet Bleu/Anneau Rouge), via a very steep descent on the right.
- continue on a more passable path via Brand and Kirchtal to reach the eastern entrance to Turckheim (option chosen on the map and in the description).
Continue east on the wide path. When it bends to the left, leave it and continue straight ahead. You will arrive at the D10.7 at the Col du Brand.
(10) Take the path on the right that runs alongside the road. It rejoins the road a little further down. Cross and turn left to follow the road for about a hundred metres. Stairs descend to the right before a bend in the road.
(11) Descend to the right through the vineyards towards Turkheim and rejoin the road near an oratory. Turn left and continue for a few dozen metres. See Practical Information.
(12) Enter the old town through the Porte de Brand. Turn into thefirst street on the left, Rue du Conseil, and continue straight on to Place de la République. Then turn right and continue straight on to the end of Rue du Tir.
(13) Turn right and head towards the Porte de Munster gate, then, with your back to the gate, head towards the Obelisk at the starting point (S/E).
