A beautiful hike with little elevation gain, well marked on the map with the Vosges Club's landmarks.
I did it in the middle of a heatwave with no problems, always under the trees, very pleasant.
A few viewpoints.

Nice little hike. However, for your information, the starting point is closer to GUEBWILLER than ROUFFACH. It might be a good idea to specify this.

A lovely, easy walk. As the descriptions were difficult to follow, we preferred to use the markers provided by the Vosges hiking club, which are visible on the map.
Thank you.

Part of this hike takes place in the forest, which is pleasant when it's hot, as it was for us. Luckily we had the app, because I must admit that the small path we had to take at point 1 wasn't easy to spot compared to the larger paths on either side.
The climb through the tall grass wasn't too difficult, but if you're wearing shorts, watch out for nettles. However, the last descent is quite dangerous as there are lots of stones! Our dog loved the walk and was even able to drink from the little streams that run here and there! So, a nice little walk with a beautiful view of the valley below. And for foodies, the Auberge du Boenlesgrab is a must if you haven't already been there!!!

Hello,
Enjoy your walk in the hills above Guebwiller.
Be careful to follow the directions carefully to take the right path at the start: when you arrive at the car park at the pass, take the almost horizontal track (almost a road) that enters the Rouffach national forest (opposite the access road from Lautenbach).
Also be careful at the crossroads known as La Plaine de Rouffach (Point 1), where you need to take a very small forest path on the right. It is not easy to find, as it is located between two wider forest paths, also on the right.
The climb to the pass is steep, so be careful. There are no signs on the Chemin du Général and a climb about 500 metres before the pass may confuse you.
Personally, we stayed on the path (it was hard to get back on track after two months without walking!).

Enjoy your walk.

We got lost at the first crossroads, but that was only because I didn't look at the signs . Otherwise, watch out for the final climb, which is quite steep :p
