Park in the car park opposite the Auberge de la Wormsa at a place called Steinabruck, after crossing the bridge over the Grande Fecht river. If the car park is full, you can retrace your steps and park just before the bridge.
(S/E) Leaving the inn on your left, start the walk by taking the road to the left. Shortly afterwards, turn right onto the Sillacker path until you reach the hairpin bend (Red Triangle markings).
(1) At the bend, leave the Red Saltire marked path (the return route) to your left and continue right towards Sillackerwasen via the Monique path (Red Triangle). You are on the Sillacker Path for about 400 m.
(2) Leave the wide Sillacker path and take the Monique path (Red Triangle) which winds steeply uphill to your left. The fairly steep, winding ascent crosses several unmarked paths before rejoining the wide Sillacker path.
(3) Return to the Chemin du Sillacker and continue the climb to your left. The path follows the mountainside for about 800 m. After a hairpin bend to the right and another to the left, you’ll reach a junction where the path continues in a hairpin bend to the right, whilst another branches off to the left.
(4) Be sure to take the path branching off to the left towards the north-west. There are no markings at this point. Continue on; you will come across the Red Triangle markings further on. You will reach another junction in the wide bend of a tarmac road.
(5) Please note: there are no markings from this point onwards. Turn right onto the tarmac road for about 100 metres, until you reach a junction with an unmarked path branching off to the left (see photo 6).
(6) Leave the tarmac road. This turn to the left is not signposted, but follow the path along a field on your right. About 100 m further on, the path turns right whilst a trail opens up on your left.
Take this path, which heads north into the forest. Continue until you emerge from the woods and come to a junction with a wide track and a path leading straight ahead into a field.
(7) Cross over and head straight ahead through the stubble towards Gaschney, joining theGR®531(marked with a Blue Rectangle). Continue until you see the Gaschney resort facilities.
(8) Once you can see Gaschney, leave the resort below you, turn left to join the tarmac road and start the climb towards the Ferme-Auberge du Schiessroth (Red-White-Red markings). You will see it after 900 m. Look for theGR®®5path on your left (marked with a Red Rectangle) just before the inn.
(9) Continue on theGR®®5(Red Rectangle) to begin the steep, winding descent towards Lake Schiessrothried. This descent will cross unmarked paths. Stay on theGR®®5until you reach the lake.
(10) Once at the lake, cross the dam, keeping the lake on your right, heading towards Fischboedle and Metzeral. Once on the other side of the dam, turn left, continuing to follow the Red Rectangle markings. Keep the stream (the Wormsa) on your left and descend to Fischboedle Lake.
(11) At the lakeside, just before the Fischboedle Lake dam, turn left to follow the Red Rectangle markings. At the junction after the bridge over the Wormsa, theGR®®5heads off to the right.
(12) Leave theGR®®5and keep left, following the Red Saltire markings. You are now on the Fischboedle Path. Pass through a small tunnel carved into the rock. Walk down the wide path without difficulty; after a wide left-hand bend, you will reach the crossroads you passed on the way out.
(1) Finish the walk at a leisurely pace and return to the car park at the Auberge de la Wormsa (S/E).
