District:
Park in the car park opposite the Auberge de la Wormsa in 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 hike by taking the road to the left. Shortly afterwards, turn right onto the Sillacker trail until you reach the hairpin bend (marked with a red triangle).
(1) At the bend, leave the Red Horse Trail (the return trail) on your left and continue to the right towards Sillackerwasen via the Monique Trail (Red Triangle). You are now on the Sillacker Trail for about 400 metres.
(2) Leave the wide Chemin du Sillacker and take the Monique trail (red triangle) which climbs steeply to your left. The fairly steep switchbacks cross several unmarked trails before rejoining the wide Chemin du Sillacker.
(3) Return to Chemin du Sillacker and continue climbing on your left. The path follows the side of the mountain for about 800 m. After a hairpin bend to the right and another to the left, you will come to a crossroads with the path continuing in a hairpin bend to the right, while another branches off to the left.
(4) Be sure to take the path that branches off to the left (north-west). There are no markings at this point. Continue on and you will find the red triangle markings further on. You will come to another intersection at a wide bend in a tarmac road.
(5) Please note that there are no more markings from this point onwards. Turn right onto the tarmac road for about 100 metres until you reach a junction with an unmarked path leading off to the left (see photo 6).
(6) Leave the tarmac road. This change of direction to the left is not marked, but follow the road along a field on your right. About 100 metres further on, the road turns right and a path appears on your left.
Take this path, which heads north into the forest. Continue until you come out of the woods and reach an intersection with a wide path and a trail that leads straight ahead into a field.
(7) Cross over and head straight ahead through the stubble towards Gaschney and join theGR®531(blue rectangle markings). Continue until you see the Gaschney station facilities.
(8) When you reach Gaschney, leave the station below you, turn left to join the tarmac road and start climbing towards the Ferme-Auberge du Schiessroth (red-white-red markings). You will see it after 900 m. Find theGR®5trail on your left (red rectangle markings) just before the inn.
(9) Continue on theGR®5(red rectangle) to begin the steep descent in hairpin bends towards Lac du Schiessrothried. This descent will cross unmarked paths. Stay on theGR®5until you reach the lake.
(10) When you reach the lake, cross the dam, with the lake on your right, towards Fischboedle and Metzeral. When you reach the other side of the dam, turn left, continuing to follow the red rectangle markings. Leave the river (the Wormsa) on your left and descend to Lake Fischboedle.
(11) At the shore, just before the dam at Lake Fischboedle, turn left and follow the red rectangle markings. At the crossroads after the bridge over the Wormsa, theGR®5 trailbranches off to the right.
(12) Leave theGR®5and keep left, following the red horse signposts. You are now on the Chemin du Fischboedle. Go through a small tunnel carved into the rock. Descend the wide path without difficulty. After a wide left turn, you will come to the crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Finish the walk at a leisurely pace and return to the car park at the Auberge de la Wormsa (S/E).
