Access to the starting point from Lutzelhouse station
With your back to the station, turn left towards the street of the same name. Turn right and follow the red rectangle with a white stripe markings. Head north-west and follow the street towards the centre of Lutzelhouse (pass to the left of an ABRAPA building). After 400 metres, cross the crossroads and continue straight ahead on Rue de la Fontaine, then straight on Rue de la Forêt. Gradually leave the village and follow a bend to the right (bench on your left). There are then several options:
By car: continue along the paved road for 1 km until you reach the second car park at Place des Musiciens.
On foot: turn right onto Chemin des Genêts, marked with a white rectangle. After 250 m, cross Rue de la Forêt. Continue straight ahead onto Chemin de la Bassotte. Follow the white rectangle markings for 1 km, turning right at the crossroads to reach Place des Musiciens.
Green Ring and Yellow Ring markings
(S/E) From Place des Musiciens, take the forest road (barrier and "pedestrians only" sign).
Green Ring markings
After 350 m, follow the path to the left and then keep to the right until you reach the crossroads.
(1) From here, keep left until you reach a crossroads. Continue straight ahead on a winding path. Cut across a track and rejoin it a little further on the right. Continue along the track to the Giant Sequoia picnic area.
(2) Continue along the track. After a few hundred metres, leave it on the left and take an uphill path. You will come to an intersection.
(3) Continue uphill. Follow two switchbacks. At the third, turn right to reach a crossroads. Turn completely left until you reach the first path on the right.
Yellow ring markings
Take this path to quickly reach an intersection.
(4) Turn right. At each junction, continue straight ahead until you reach the Jardin des Fées.
(5) Enjoy the site, then continue along the marked trail downhill towards the north (viewpoint behind you). Keep right at the next three crossroads. At the fourth, first turn right then left. At the next intersection, continue straight ahead. Then first turn left then right and arrive at the Porte de Pierre.
(6) Enjoy the site. From the Porte de Pierre, you can make a round trip to the small Katzenberg (viewpoint and castle ruins) by following the trail marked only with a red ring, heading east.
Red Ring and Red Rectangle
From Rocher de Pierre, take the first path on the left. Ignore the track leading down to the right. At the next junction with a track, turn sharply left. Continue straight on to Rocher de Mutzig.
(7) Enjoy the view at the top and continue to follow the marked trail. Be careful with children, as there is a risk of falling between the rocks! Go around the main rock from below on the left (Bruche Valley side) to reach the Col du Narion and the Baraque aux Juifs after 1 km.
