Blue Disc signposting
Take the second track on the right, which climbs steadily. Pass two disused tracks on the left before taking a wide left-hand bend into the Bois de Mohrenfeld. Continue to the end of the bend.
(1) Take the path that continues level to the right. Cross a disused track, then follow the next one to the left. At each junction, keep going downhill straight ahead until you reach the bottom of the valley. Turn right towards the stream.
(2) Head up the track on the left, which follows a small valley. Continue to a meadow and a pass.
(3) Keep to the left, then turn right along the meadow until you reach the next junction.
(4) Head up the road on the left, leaving it at the first bend. Take a hairpin bend to the right. You’ll come across a number of tracks in varying states of disrepair: keep going straight on until you reach a well-maintained cross-track.

(12) Turn right towards the chapel. If you climb the steps, you can enjoy a view of Winkel. Otherwise, follow the road to where it ends.
(13) Continue along the track that runs alongside it. Ignore a track opposite and turn left at a hollow. Then keep going straight ahead until you reach the first houses in Ligsdorf.
(14) Head straight ahead along the street and follow it down to the inconspicuous stream. Cross the stream and keep going straight ahead until you reach the Ligsdorf village hall, situated just before the sports ground.

(20) Head down the track on the right, then keep straight ahead. Continue in this direction until you reach a small tarmac road: turn left towards the houses and join the departmental road (with a crucifix on your left).
(21) Follow it down to the right. Take the 90° right-hand bend and continue to the next bend.
