The car park is located above the Lampertsloch Forest House opposite the stadium. To get there, you have to cross the entire village and go to the edge of the forest, where there is a large car park.
(S/E) Leave the car park by taking the path heading north. At the start of the path, you will see a stone fountain on your right and, set back a little, the village water reservoir. Continue to the Y-junction of two forest paths.
(1) Take the left-hand path heading north.
Two to three hundred metres further on, at another crossroads, turn left onto the path heading west, which is almost flat, and continue for about four hundred metres.

(2) Turn right onto a path that climbs the mountainside in a fairly straight line towards a small valley. Shortly after crossing a path, the slope of the path increases. At the next T-junction, turn left and follow the path to a forestry track.
When you reach it, turn left and follow the path to a crossroads.
Yellow rectangle markings
(3) Turn right at an acute angle and follow this path to the Col du Wiep.
(4) At the pass, turn right onto a simple path. About 50 metres further on, at a Y-shaped crossroads, take the right-hand path which crosses a sort of plateau to the south. The route arrives at the Kastelring crossroads. A signpost allows you to visit it off the route.
(5) After passing a path on your right at a Y-shaped crossroads, turn right onto a fairly flat path. Continue straight ahead at the next crossroads and, shortly afterwards, at a Y-shaped crossroads, turn left onto the path that climbs about forty metres.
The path then continues flat along the edge of the plateau. This area, which has been farmed, offers a view of the plain. Continue straight ahead until you reach a regulated forest road.
(6) Cross the road, follow it to the right for about thirty metres before continuing on the left along the slightly uphill path. The path passes next to a small building belonging to the Maginot Line. It soon reaches an inverted Y-shaped crossroads.
Blue rectangle markings
(7) Turn right at an acute angle and follow the path that leads to the Soultzerkopf Refuge.
Pass in front of the buildings and continue along the path that goes around the rocky outcrop with its orientation table offering a beautiful view of the plain below.
(8) About five to six hundred metres after the refuge, turn right onto a downhill path. Please note that the first path on the right is reserved for downhill mountain biking (signposted).
Further on, the path crosses a logging track, then a regulated forest road. When you reach it, follow it to the left (downhill) for about fifty metres before taking a path on the right (at a break in the safety rail at the side of the road). This path joins a third forest path a little further on.
(9) Turn right at an acute angle and follow this path, which runs along the side of the Hochwald towards the west. This path is not marked. The path passes halfway up the slope below the Soultzerkopf Refuge.
Continue until you reach a crossroads of forestry tracks after about 2 km.
Blue disc markings
(10) Turn left onto the forest track that descends. After about 200 metres, leave this marked track and follow the one that goes to the bottom of the valley, then along it.
Further on, the path passes over a captured spring, then a little further on, a reservoir, both on the left-hand side.
The path then arrives at a junction of forestry tracks. Turn right onto the forest track that climbs slightly. When you reach a junction of forest tracks, take the wide track on the left that heads south-west.
Green disc markings
(11) The downhill path leads to a forest track on the hillside. Cross it and continue straight ahead on the path on the right. A little further on, you will reach the fork in the path you took on the way out.
(1) Continue to the left and, following the same route as on the way there, return to the stadium car park (S/E).
