The hike starts from the car park at the top of Hohneck.
(S/E) Head south-west towards Kastelberg, following the path parallel to the road.
(1) As soon as you start climbing, keep the fence on your left. At the point where two fences meet, continue straight ahead on the path.
(2) 200 metres further on, you will pass close to the source of the Moselotte on your right. At the next crossroads, where the Auberge du Breitzhousen is signposted, continue along the path on the left.
(3) When you reach the white path, follow it to the left for about 50 metres until you reach the first bend. Then take the path on the right towards the Refuge du Rainkopf-Louis Hergès. When you reach the refuge, go around it on the right and descend for about 150 metres, then take the path furthest to the left, following the yellow cross markings. After crossing the metal footbridge, the descent is exclusively on rocks until you reach the shores of Lake Altenweiher.
(4) Describe the instructions from the crossing point here.
(5) At the end of the dam, turn right onto the tarmac road. After about 50 metres, leave the road and enter the forest on the left, following the blue cross markings. At the first crossroads (another 50 metres or so), turn right and start the climb towards Kerbholz. Ignore the various paths on either side.
(6) At the crossroads, at the edge of the forest, continue straight ahead towards Kerbholz.
(7) At the white path, about 50 metres further on, take the small path opposite you, slightly to the left, marked with a blue cross.
(8) When you reach Kerbholz, take the opportunity to admire the view of the valley and the Petit Hohneck. Continue your route by avoiding the house and, once on the other side, take the path that climbs to the left. Be careful, as there are few markings in this area, but you must continue climbing. At the first crossroads, continue climbing to the right towards the Auberge du Kastelberg.
(9) At the inn's car park, turn right onto the white path and after the left-hand bend, take the path on the right, marked with a yellow cross, towards "Sentier des Névés".
Follow the path for about 3 kilometres, keeping the cliff on your right, and rejoin the path you took at the start.
(1) Turn right to reach the summit of Hohneck and the car park (15-minute climb) (S/E).
