Parking Place des Musiciens, where you will find a sequoia tree, among other things. It can be reached from Lutzelhouse via the Route Forestière du Kegelplatz.

This spot can be chosen for lunch, depending on your arrival time. Continue left towards the Rocher de Mutzig, following the red rectangle.
(8) The Rocher de Mutzig, the highest point of the hike and incidentally of the Bas-Rhin, rewards your efforts with a magnificent view of the Bruche valley and the surrounding peaks.
In fine weather, it is an ideal spot for a picnic among the huge blocks of puddingstone. Continue towards the Col de Narion (GR®53red rectangle), where you can take shelter in the Baraque aux Juifs in wet weather.

Follow the red ring to the Partage crossroads.
(10) At the Partage crossroads, you will join the In Situ sculpture trail. Continue following the red ring for 250m, then turn right and follow the green ring to Kegelplatz.
(11) From Kegelplatz, continue following the green ring, passing the sculpture "Les Têtes" and the oak tree of the Virgin Mary. After 700m, you will reach a crossroads with a hairpin bend to the left and a green ring signpost indicating "Mairie de Lutzelhouse".
