In the woods at Bruebach

The route runs almost entirely through the forest, in the shade of the trees or exposed to the icy wind in winter. You may spot a few roe deer startled by your presence if you keep quiet. The route is straightforward but features numerous fallen trees that you’ll need to go round.

Description of the walk

The start is in Bruebach at the end of Rue du Kerlisweg, at the junction with Rue de Steinbrunn. From Mulhouse, take the last street on the right before leaving the village and park at the other end.

(S/E) Take the path that crosses a wooded area and leads to a four-way junction (calvary).

(1) Take the path on the left marked with a Yellow Rectangle.

(2) Continue straight ahead, noting the return path on your right.

(3) Take the path on your left marked with a Blue Disc.

(4) Take the path on the right and, further on, follow the Yellow Rectangle markings to the left. You will come out onto a stony path; follow it to the right for about fifty metres.

(5) Turn left at the corner of the fenced orchard.

(6) Turn right at the edge of the woods, following the Yellow Disc markings.

(7) At the bottom, as you leave the woods, just before the meadow, turn right onto the sunken path.

(8) Take the stony path that climbs up to your right for 150 m (marked with a Blue Triangle). Then take the path on the left, at the corner of the totem pole: a medallion on the totem pole indicating Bruebach-Flaxlanden.

(9) Take the path on your right.

(10) Cut across the path marked with a Blue Disc and continue straight ahead. Return to the path you took on the way there, marked with a Yellow Rectangle.

(2) Turn left.

(1) At the wayside shrine, turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
