From Haut-Rebberg to Tannenwald, starting from the Belvédère in Mulhouse

Parking near the Belvedere Tower in Reeberg

(S/E) Facing the Belvédère, pass to its right and enter the Parc du Belvédère. Turn right towards Brunstatt-Église. Now follow the Anneau Vert markings.
At the end of the park, go down a small staircase and turn right. At the top, go straight down Rue de la Dairy Farm.

Take the first street on the left, Rue de Gascogne, where there is a nursery school. At the end of the street, cross Rue des Carrières and take the dirt track opposite. Go through a turnstile.
This path runs alongside an orchard and the "Tony Troxler" vineyards, opposite which there are benches. Leave this path through a second turnstile and go down to the right onto Chemin du Klettenberg. Continue for 100 metres.

(1) Turn left down Rue des Groseillers and follow the yellow disc markings. At the bottom of the street, take the first right, Rue du Docteur Scholer. A little further on, the road splits in two: take the left-hand road, Rue du Forst. At the end, cross the main road carefully and take Rue des Buissons opposite.

(2) At the end of the street, at the roundabout, turn left twice in succession to take Rue des Alpes, towards Moenschberg Hospital. From here, follow the red disc markings. After a right-hand bend, leave the tarmac road and take a dirt track on the left, at the start of which there is a road sign saying "Sauf Ayants Droit" (except for authorised vehicles). At the top of this track, turn around to enjoy a beautiful view of the Vosges mountains. At the end of the track, turn left and you will come to a junction.

(3) At this intersection, at the foot of the hundred-year-old tree, turn right towards Rotlaub. Continue along this path for about one kilometre (ignore two successive paths that branch off to the left) until you reach the edge of the forest. Just before entering, turn right and stay on the main path until you reach an intersection.

(4) Take the "Sentier Interregional Wanderweg" on the left. Now follow the red diamond markings and enter the forest. Ignore the various unmarked paths on either side of the road and continue along this path for about one kilometre until you reach a departmental road.

(5) Cross the road carefully and continue straight ahead towards Mulhouse Zoo. Ignore the first crossroads and take the next path on the left. At the end of this path, at the intersection of five paths, take the "Itinéraire Principal Hauptweg" on the right. You will arrive at an X-shaped crossroads.

(6) At this crossroads, where there is a bench, walk past it and then turn diagonally right towards the Ancienne Tuilerie. Now follow the red ring markings. Ignore the unmarked paths on either side of the path and, after about 700 metres, follow the signs for "Vue des Alpes" on your left. A little further on, just before you leave the forest, turn left to the viewpoint.

(7) After the "Vue des Alpes" viewpoint, continue on your way towards Zimmersheim. Then turn right onto the path marked "Tour du Canton". Still following the red ring markings, take the next path on the left towards Flaxlanden, where you will see a road sign saying "Sauf Ayants Droit" (except for authorised persons). About a hundred metres further on, turn left towards the "Tumulus".

(8) Immediately after the "Butte des Huns", turn right. At the next T-junction, where there is a bench, turn left towards Rotlaub-Flaxlanden. Ignore two small paths that lead into the forest on the left and continue to the next intersection. At the intersection, turn right towards Mulhouse Zoo. Two hundred metres further on, at the Y-junction, take the left-hand path towards Mulhouse Tivoli. Continue straight ahead at the first crossroads to reach a six-way junction. Here, still following the Anneau Rouge, continue diagonally to the right to reach a Y-junction.

(9) Leave the Anneau Rouge trail by turning left towards Chemin du Bois. At the first crossroads, continue straight ahead and, at the end of the path, at the Carrefour du Herrenwald, turn right towards the Upper Entrance to the Zoo and follow the yellow rectangle markings. Barely a hundred metres further on, just after a bench, turn left towards Mulhouse Gare.
Continue along this path, which is part of the "Route du Tannenwald" (marked by small green signs). Further on, the path also merges with the "Sentier Botanique du Tannenwald" (where there are signs providing information about certain trees).
Be careful: when the botanical trail continues to the right, keep going straight ahead, following the yellow rectangle markings. Pass a bench, and the path climbs diagonally to the left at the next intersection. Continue for a few metres.

(10) Go up to the right. This path leads to a road lined with parking spaces.
Cross it carefully and continue straight ahead towards Mulhouse Zoo. At the top of this path, leave the yellow rectangle markings and turn left towards the Belvédère, following the yellow disc markings until you reach your destination.
Pass right by the large Mulhouse television antenna. You will arrive at the top of a road. Use the pedestrian crossing and continue straight ahead, taking a small staircase.
You are now back at Belvédère Park. The fourth path on the right will take you back to your starting point at the park entrance, at the foot of Belvédère (S/E).

At the foot of the Belvédère, Rue du Belvédère, there are a few free parking spaces.

From point (6) to the finish (S/E), the path offers numerous benches for tired hikers or those looking for a place to picnic.

At the starting point (S/E), opposite the Belvédère, on the car park side, there is a square with the "Tambov Memorial" and a "Tree of Liberty", which pays tribute to the thousands of Alsatians and Mosellans who were forcibly conscripted into the German army during the Second World War. Many were taken prisoner by the Red Army and sent to the Tambov camp or other Soviet camps, and many died.

At the starting point (S/E) is the Belvédère, a building designed by Maurice Koechlin. It is usually open during the day and offers a beautiful view of the entire city of Mulhouse and its surroundings, as well as the Vosges mountains.

Shortly after the starting point (S/E), after Rue de Gascogne, go down Rue des Carrières on the right, then Rue des Vendanges on the left (about 300 metres), and you can visit the "Jardin d'Hygiène Naturelle", a pretty park with lots of little huts and private gardens.

At the point (3) there is a magnificent hundred-year-old oak tree marked by a sign.

At point (7) is the "Point de vue des Alpes" (Alps Viewpoint), marked by a sign, which offers an unobstructed view of the Black Forest, the Jura and, if the weather is clear enough, the Alps in the background.

At point (8) is the "Butte des Huns" (Huns' Mound), marked by a sign, a Celtic tomb dating from the eighth century BC.

Shortly after the point (8), after turning left at the intersection with the bench, the second forest path on the left takes you to the "Source du Zielbrunnen" (about fifty metres), where there are two benches.
