Start from the entrance to the Hohwald campsite, after leaving the village when coming from Andlau (the commune). There are a few parking spaces around the "Forêt du Hohwald" sign. If there are no spaces available, see the alternative starting point indicated in the practical information.
In addition to the markings, the route is signposted. On the way there, follow the signs for "Cascade".
Rectangular red + blue disc markings
(S/E) Take the path that leaves between the campsite entrance on the left and a small wooden and brick building on the right. At a fork (sculpture "L'esprit de la forêt" [Spirit of the Forest]), turn left. At the next two forks, keep left. Follow the campsite fence on your left, then cross a stream via a wooden footbridge. Walk through a beech forest, then a fir forest. Cross another stream, turn left onto the path, cross a narrow forest track and you will come out onto a small road.
(1) Follow the road uphill to the right.
Red rectangular signpost
(2) After about 250m, in a slight bend to the right of the road, turn left onto a path (ignore the blue signpost and continue on the road). Under tall fir trees, gradually approach a stream below on the left. Cross the stream (the Rohrbach) on a wooden bridge.
(3) At the end of the bridge, turn left and follow a good path that climbs steadily. The path curves to the right and runs alongside a fence on the left. Cross a forest path and pass under a telephone line. The path then gives way to a trail. Cross another stream on a footbridge.
(4) Note the memorial stone on the right commemorating the Haut Sapin tree, which was felled in 1816. At the fork that follows, take the path on the left. This will take you to the waterfall.
(5) Descend via the same path in the opposite direction. Follow the signs for "Hohwald".
(1) Caution! Back on the forest road, on a straight stretch, don't miss the path on the left that will take you back to the campsite (S/E).
