Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the town hall, on Rue du Château.

(S/E) From the car park, head towards the playground. Cross the playground and turn right onto Rue du Château, passing the Grotte de Lourdes and the war memorial. You will then reach the fountain on Place du Général de Gaulle, with a view of Saint-Rémi Church.

(1) Turn left onto Rue Herzog. At the junction with Rue Kling, you’ll see another fountain on your left; continue straight on down the street until you reach the junction at the edge of the village, near a cross.

(2) Turn left onto Rue du Frère Edouard Sitzmarn, then turn left and head down Rue du Hagueneck before taking the first street on the right, Rue Pfleck. At the end, turn left around the corner before turning right onto Rue du Crucifix, then left onto Rue Coteaux. Continue to the end of the street.

(3) Turn left onto Rue du Sylvaner, then right onto Rue du Riesling. At the end of this street, continue to the right onto Route du Vin, following it until you reach the junction with the cross.

(4) Carry on left onto Route d’Eguisheim. Keep straight on until you reach the cemetery.

(5) Turn back and take the second road on the right (Rue Herzog). Walk up this street until, at Rue Kleb, you see a wayside cross and a memorial stone dedicated to the A.D.E.I.F, as well as Square Émile Floranc. Continue up the street, passing another cross, then a well, and turn left onto the Passage du Crédit Mutuel. On Rue du Chanoine Sig, turn right, then right again to arrive near the Fontaine des Vendanges. Turn left towards the church and return to the fountain you passed on the way out.
