In the village of Bonhomme, there are several parking options available; there are a few spaces near the fire station, 66 Rue du3e Spahis Algériens, or at the Post Office at 61 on the same street.
(S/E) From where you have parked, walk down the main street (Rue du3e Spahis Algériens) towards the plain (towards Kaysersberg).
The start of the path is not easy to spot; it is situated between two houses, between numbers 50 and 48 on Rue du3e Spahis Algériens, next to a fire hydrant.
(1) Between the two houses, a sign points to Château, La Basse, marked with a Red Ring. Follow the narrow path that winds between the walls and begins with a fairly steep flight of steps. It turns right, then left, and leads to Château du Gutenbourg.
(2) Leave the Red Ring markings and take a small uphill path to the right, marked with a Blue Ring. You will soon reach a rocky ridge with beautiful views over the valley and the Grand Brézouard. Continue until you reach Faurupt via a small tarmac road.
(3) Follow it downhill to the right. Cross a small bridge over a stream; at the T-junction, turn right again and continue for about fifty metres to the next junction.
(4) Leave the tarmac road and take the wide path on the left; this is theGR®®532marked with a Yellow Rectangle. It climbs and joins a road at a place called Le Plat; continue straight along the road until the junction, at thesecond block of houses (Brézouard farm).
(5) The route leading to Le Brézouard (marked with a Yellow Rectangle) branches off to the right, climbs through the forest and passes under a high-voltage power line. At the junction with a forest track, continue to the left then immediately to the right. Pass under the high-voltage power line again and head north-east to the pass, at the crossroads with numerous paths at the hamlet of Le Plat.
(6) Cross the junction and continue straight ahead on the path marked with a Yellow Rectangle. Pass a path branching off to the right, then a footpath. Reach a junction with a path marked with a Red Triangle on the left.
(7) Take this path marked with a Red Triangle and reach the Petit Brézouard refuge.
(8) On the right, continue along the ridge path marked with a Red Rectangle and climb towards the Petit Brézouard, clearly visible in front of you.
(9) At the summit, continue in the same direction and head down towards the north. After about 300 m, you’ll reach a hairpin bend with a path branching off to the left.
(10) This is still theGR®®5; follow it towards Haycot (Haïcot) to the west. It reaches a large crossroads near a memorial stone and then veers right towards the Refuge des Amis de la Nature Haycot.
(11) Continue for a few hundred metres until you reach an open meadow.
(12) In the clearing, continue left towards Haycot, following the Yellow Cross markings. The pretty path passes through stubble fields and alongside the Haycot inn. Shortly after the inn, you’ll reach a tarmac road and come across the Red Rectangle and White Rectangle markings again. Follow them to the left. After a few hundred metres, the road leads to a small picnic area.
(13) Follow a wide path to the right. This is theGR®®5, marked with a Red Rectangle, which leads to the Col des Bagenelles.
(14) Cross the D48 with care and continue left on theGR®®5. It descends to the village of Le Bonhomme, occasionally running alongside the D48 in a south-westerly direction. At the entrance to the village, walk (carefully) alongside the road towards the church until you reach the Stop sign near the church.
(15) Turn left to reach the car park by walking back down the main street (S/E).
