The car park is located at the roundabout on the corner of Rue du Pont and Rue du Ried, between the road and the supermarket on the right (Lidl), under the trees.
(S/E) Start at the far end of the car park, with your back to the roundabout, by turning right onto Rue du Pont. After about 350 m, ignore Rue des Noyers which branches off to the right and continue to Rue de Gambsheim. Take the D94 to the left and cross the bridge over the Zorn. The Weyersheim wash house (1925) is situated on both sides of the Zorn just below the bridge.
(1) Continue straight ahead, crossing Rue Saint-Wolfgang with care. Continue along Rue de l’Échelle, cross Rue de la République straight ahead and continue along Rue Saint-Michel. At the junction with the third street, turn left into Rue du Docteur Schweitzer, continue straight on until you reach the railway tracks. Cross the bridge and follow the path leading off to the left, ignore the first turn-off on the right and follow the path to the trees lining the Feldgraben stream. It then turns right to reach Rue Principale (D747).
(2) Walk carefully along the road to the left for about 200 m, then, turning left and then right, follow Rue Kirchfeld. Continue straight on, continuing along Rue des Lilas until you reach Rue Albert Schweizer. Walk along the pavement on the left until you reach the outskirts of Bietlenheim. On the right is an open space with sports equipment and a table and two benches.
(3) Turn left onto the path through the fields and, at the end of it, turn right to reach the banks of the Zorn.
(4) Follow the path on the right which runs alongside the Zorn, go round the sewage treatment plant and arrive at Rue du Général de Gaulle. Follow it on the right along the cycle path to the start of the village of Geudertheim. Enter the village and take the first street on the left, Rue du Chevreuil, which turns left to lead to Rue du Moulin near the Catholic Church of Saint-Blaise (1900).
(5) There are two options:
1) either turn left and walk past the entrance to Schauenbourg Castle (1399).
2) or turn right to reach Rue du Général de Gaulle, where there are several restaurants, passing the fire station.
(6) Then retrace your steps to the previous crossroads near the church.
(5) Turn right towards Schauenbourg Castle. Continue for about fifty metres and turn left into Petite Rue de l’Église, passing the former millers’ farm, the Ulrichs (circa 1690). Continue left for a few dozen metres to reach the Protestant vicarage (1829).
(7) Continue for another hundred metres to the left along Rue du Presbytère until you reach Rue du Général de Gaulle (D947). Follow it to the left for about 300 metres. Turn left onto Rue de la Rivière until you reach the small bridge over the Zorn and its covered wash house, the Geudertheim wash house (1875).
(8) Follow the path to the left along the river to the Geudertheim Mill (1902).
(9) Continue along the riverbank to the Vixels Staj footbridge (1862) at a place called Geudertheim-plage.
(10) The path then leads to a junction just before a stone arch bridge.
(11) Cross the bridge, then cross the D223 road with care and turn right, heading back along the cycle path you took on the way out, following Rue du Général de Gaulle to the next bridge.
(12) Cross it, then turn left and follow the path running alongside the Zorn. About 250 m further on, you’ll notice a beautiful pollarded willow. Continue along the riverbank for about 2 km to reach the Schiffmatten spawning ground. Shortly afterwards, you’ll arrive at the railway viaducts (1855).
(13) 200 m further on, the path reaches the Zorn Diversion Canal. Turn right and follow it until you reach the D37 county road.
(14) Cross the bridge on the left and walk carefully along the road until you reach a flight of steps on your left.
(15) Go down the steps to avoid walking along the edge of the road and head towards the fishing pond. Go round the roundabout and return to the car park on Rue du Pont and Rue du Ried (S/E).
