The walk starts from the small car park at the end of Rue du Lutzelbach (a dead-end street), next to the sports ground.
(S/E) Go to the end of the car park and take the path on the right (marked with yellow crosses).
(1) When you reach a wider path, cross it and continue straight ahead, following the red and white rectangular markings (towards Cerisier Noir and Taennchel).
(2) At the crossroads, turn right, following the same markers. Cross the path and continue straight ahead. From this crossroads, you can go to Château Haut Ribeaupierre, which is nearby (see option 1 in the practical information section).
(3) When you reach the picnic tables, turn left onto the wide path. Pass in front of the calvary.
(4) At the Cerisier Noir crossroads (sign on the tree), continue straight on towards Taennchel (Anneau Rouge markings).
(5) At the Hasenclever refuge, turn right before it towards Taennchel (Anneau Rouge and dDsque Bleu markers). After about 100 metres, a path branches off to the left towards Taennchel, marked with Anneau Rouge and Triangle Jaune markers. Do not take this path; continue along the wide path until you reach a wooden barrier.
(6) Leave the marked path and take the trail on the left. This is an unmarked trail that leads directly to the Rocher de la Paix d'Udine via thirteen hairpin bends. When you reach a wider path, cross it and continue straight ahead.
(7) Rocher de la Paix d'Udine: take a break and admire the landscape (Château Haut Ribeaupierre in the foreground, the Black Forest opposite, and the Alps to the right in good weather).
From the Rocher de la Paix d'Udine, descend via the Anneau Rouge marked trail towards the Hasenclever Refuge (be careful to take the trail that descends; the other direction leads to Taennchel).
(5) Pass Refuge Hasenclever (Abri du Taennchel) again, then turn left at the Cerisier Noir crossroads (Anneau Rouge signpost).
(4) At the Cerisier Noir crossroads, turn right onto the Blue Triangle marked trail towards the Notre-Dame de Dusenbach Monastery.
(8) Pass the Fontaine du Hêtre fountain and continue along the path that runs alongside the stream. Ignore the paths that branch off to the left until you reach the crossroads.
(9) Turn opposite towards Dusenbach. The trail continues to follow the stream.
(10) The path widens as you approach the monastery. See alternative route 2 in Practical Information. Turn left onto the carriage road marked with a blue triangle, heading towards Ribeauvillé via the Maria Raydt trail.
(11) Take the Maria Raydt trail on the left, which leads through the woods towards Ribeauvillé.
(12) When you reach the road (D416), continue to the left. At the roundabout, continue in the same direction, then take the first left (steep path). When you reach the entrance to the school, continue straight ahead to pass behind the building. The path rejoins the car park where you started (S/E).
