The starting point is near the village exit towards Obersteigen and Wangenbourg, at the junction of the main street and Rue Bentz.
(S/E) Take the path leading uphill to the west, marked with a Red Disc. The gradient is fairly moderate and the path leads very quickly, after crossing a forest track, to the Geissfelswasen gazebo.
(1) Just past the gazebo, turn right, following the Blue Rectangle markings, to follow theGR®®531to the Geissfels Rock.
(2) Enjoy the view – despite the high-voltage pylons, it’s well worth the detour. Head back down the same path.
(1) At Geissfelswasen, head south along the track marked with a Yellow Triangle towards the Table des Géants. After a left-hand bend, the track reaches a Fork in the road.
(3) Turn right and take a wide right-hand bend to reach the Table des Géants a few dozen metres to the left of the track.
(4) Return to the Yellow Triangle path and follow it to the left towards the Kurtrain. Barely 150 m further on, you’ll reach another Fork in the road.
(5) Leave the Yellow Triangle-marked path, which climbs to the right towards Kurtrain, and take the wide path that cuts across and descends to the left. After nearly 700 m, this becomes a track suitable for vehicles and is called the Chemin Forestier du Sattelfels.
(6) Continue along this track and, when the track is joined on the right by the path marked with a Red Triangle, carry on for a good hundred metres until you reach a wide bend to the right.
(7) At this wide bend, leave the track and take the footpath to the left towards Sattelfels.
(8) At Sattelfels, turn left heading due west onto the path marked with a Red Saltire sign towards Reinhardsmunster. The path very quickly joins the hairpin bend of a track. Follow it downhill to the left until you reach another Fork in the road about 500 m further on.
(9) Leave the track and head down the path, veering to the left. The signposting remains the same (Red Saltire) right up to the finish. After a left-hand bend, the path joins a forest road.
(10) Follow it to the right. This track runs from Reinhardsmunster to the Billebaum crossroads. Depending on whether you’re walking on a weekday or at the weekend, take great care, particularly as you approach the village. Return to the starting point (S/E).
