The tour departs from the Mont Sainte-Odile car park.
(S/E) Head towards the abbey and, before entering the site, look for a staircase on the left.
(1) Turn left to go down the stairs. Cut across a path and continue straight ahead for about 20 metres.
(2) Take the path that descends to the right into the forest. After passing through the Roman Gate, you will reach a crossroads where several paths converge.
(3) Take the Sentier du Mur Païen trail, which follows the wall. Follow the yellow signposts that lead to the right below another trail. Ignore the Sentier des Pèlerins trail on the right, which leads back downhill.
(4) A staircase leads to the Sentier des Merveilles, which runs alongside the Mur Païen. You will reach a fork in the path.
(5) Continue straight ahead on the blue signposted path, ignoring the path that goes up to the left. Continue to the next intersection.
(6) Turn left, following the same markings. Go to the end of the Hexenplatz and join the GR® trail, which leads directly to Mont Sainte-Odile: marked with a red rectangle crossed out in white.
(7) Turn left to follow it, leaving the access to the Elsberg hut on your right. Continue straight ahead, following the GR® markings, until you reach a large star-shaped crossroads.
(8) Leave the GR® and take the path marked with yellow horseshoes, which will take you along the Mur Païen on the way back to the abbey.
(9) Before reaching the fountain, turn left towards the large meadow, following the yellow cross markings, which will take you back to the large staircase at the start.
(2) Climb these steps to return to the car park (S/E).
