Access to the starting point is by car via the Zorn forest road (Schaeferhof-Dabo), then take the Beimbach forest road. When you reach Hohwalschplatz, turn left. Follow the forest road to the Petersmuehl Forest House. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead and follow the Zorn Jaune until you reach the junction with the Route des Russes at a place called Elsassblick. Another access route is possible from Walscheid at the pond via the forest road that runs alongside the Bièvre to Hohwalshplatz. The route is the same from this point onwards.
(S/E) Leave the car park and take the Russes forest road, following it for about 500 metres.
(1) Turn left and follow the blue horse markers. You will walk through coniferous forest on a level path, which joins a forest road just before the Grossmann Forest House.
(2) Continue along the forest road for a few metres, then turn left onto the path marked with a blue cross towards Altmatt. The path climbs 90 metres under the canopy of the forest.
(3) At Altmatt, you will reach a forest road called Kohlweg. Turn right, heading south, following the red rectangle with a white stripe (a variant ofthe GR®5). When the path begins to curve to the left, you will come to a fork. Take the right fork for a few dozen metres to reach the Col de Narion and the Baraque au Juifs.
(4) At the Baraque aux Juifs, turn left onto theGR®5, marked with a red rectangle, towards the Rocher de Mutzig. The path climbs 80 metres and becomes rockier.
(5) At Rocher de Mutzig, enjoy the views of the Alsace plain, Struhthof, Champ du Feu, Climont, Hautes Vosges, Donon and the Lorraine plateau.
Retrace your steps and return to the Col de Narion.
(4) Continue along the path you took on the way there until you reach Altmatt.
(3) Continue right towards the north-east on the forest road marked with a red rectangle crossed with white. After a hairpin bend to the right, the path heads south-south-west. Continue for about 300 metres.
(6) Leave the forest road and take the track on the left (same markings). Follow this wide path and the red and white rectangular markings. It remains almost level for about 2 km, then reaches a junction with a path on the left.
(7) Leave the wide path on the left and climb steeply for 150 m, following the same markings. You will come out at the Elsassblick car park. This last section can be slippery in wet weather (S/E).
