(1) Before the pond, take the path on the right, marked with a blue cross, towards "Paul Rath Vierge". After a few hundred metres, turn left onto a smaller path, marked with a red disc, towards the Virgin Mary statue. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead on a carriageway marked with a yellow ring.
(2) At the Vierge de Paul Rath, turn right and follow the yellow ring and cross. When you see Luemschwiller, you have two options:
- either stay on this marked path, straight ahead towards the village ( see Practical Information);
- or (option shown on the map and described here), take the path on the right, then left, which passes in front of a reservoir.
(3) Take the dyke on the right and at the next intersection, turn left onto the path that joins theGR®531marked with a blue rectangle towards Buschberg on the right.
(4) Climb up towards Buschsberg. Very soon, the path descends slightly to a three-way junction. Leave theGR®531and follow the yellow ring markings on the right. After a crossroads, descend to the left until you reach a junction of several paths and a car park.

(6) At the chapel, continue along the red diamond and blue ring to reach the historic site of Britzgyberg.
(7) Continue along the path for a few hundred metres towards the summit.
(8) At the top of Britzgyberg, turn right and follow the red diamond to the Grand Canyon site. First turn right then left, ignoring a path on the left and another on the right. At the next crossroads, turn left until you reach a crossroads near a hut.
(9) In front of the hut, continue straight ahead on the left towards the Grand Canyon and follow the markings.
