(S/E) From the car park, walk past the "Gaschney 360°" rental building. Continue along the road, passing the "Ski Club Hohneck Colmar" building.
(1) Pass under the chairlift, leave the road and turn left, following the blue rectangular signposts. Follow theGR®® towards Lac de Schiessrothried, and a little further on, descend to the left to follow a small stony path that runs flat through the forest.
(2) After an open section, go through the turnstile to reach a crossroads. Continue right on a forest path (blue rectangle signpost - direction Schiessrothried).
(3) At a three-way junction, keep left and descend to the lake (blue rectangle sign + TMV sign)
You will arrive at Lac de Schiessrothried and continue along the dam.
(4) After the footbridge, turn completely left downhill (red rectangle signpost), towards Fischboedle. Ignore the path on the right that climbs directly to Spitzkoepfe and the path on the left that climbs uphill. Follow the stream flowing from the lake. When you reach Fischboedle Lake, continue along it and ignore theGR® descent, red rectangle. Cross the rocks, cross the small bridge and head left, following the blue cross markings.
(5) Follow the forest path uphill towards Kerbholtz.
(6) At a sharp hairpin bend, turn right, following the blue cross signpost towards Kerbholtz and ignore the path straight ahead, marked with a blue triangle towards Mittlach. At the wide bend, leave the forest path and continue straight ahead, following the blue cross signpost for a few metres. Ignore the path on the left, marked with a blue triangle.
(7) Follow the path marked with a blue cross, which branches off to the left. The rocky path winds its way up to the Kerbholz hut. When you reach a small chalet, enjoy the beautiful panoramic view.
(8) Pass the cottage and take the gently descending path into the forest, marked with a blue rectangle, towards Gaschney. You will arrive at the Ammelthal valley with some technical but well-secured passages.
(9) Cross the stream via a wooden footbridge and begin the climb towards the Spitzkoepfe. Pass at the foot of a cliff, then cross a scree slope of large rocks.
(10) At the foot of the Spitzkoepfe, walk a few metres to the right and back to reach the viewpoint at the first Spitzkopf (see the sign behind you) with a bird's eye view of the lake. Retrace your steps and continue down the winding path, following the blue rectangle signs towards Schiessrothried.
(11) When you reach a path, continue to the left, following the blue triangle markings towards Wormspel and Crête du Hohneck. Ignore the path on the right that descends directly to Lac de Schiessrothried. Further on, the trail turns left to climb towards the ridge, following the blue triangle markings through the Wormspel valley. The climb to Hohneck is quite steep.
(12) When you reach the ridge, head right to reach Hohneck. Enjoy the beautiful panoramic view with the orientation table. Continue downhill towards the Schiessroth farmhouse inn, following theGR®®, marked with a red rectangle.
(13) At the Col du Schaeferthal, continue to the right towards the farmhouse inn, following the red rectangle markings.
