A short, fairly easy and uncrowded hike completed on Saturday 13/09/25 in 2 hours and 10 minutes, excluding a picnic stop at the summit. We were equipped with walking boots and walking sticks.
We enjoyed the climb up a pretty forest trail and the view from the castle ruins.
The return trip is mostly on a forest path (we followed the red disc markings to the Wolfsgrube pass). The path becomes very steep between points 4 and 5. It is rutted by rain and therefore not very pleasant.
The end of the route on the quiet road seemed long to us, even though the surroundings are quite pretty.
If I had to do it again, I would opt for a return trip rather than the loop.

Very nice walk. A short continuous climb of around 1 hour before reaching the ridge and the ruins. Pleasant to do in warm weather as it is well shaded.

Just before the chapel, you need to pay close attention to the path as it rises, as it is not well signposted.
A very pleasant walk through undergrowth, with no particular difficulties.

At -5°C, we were virtually alone on this snowy route, which climbs steadily through the forest from the imposing Murbach Abbey. The view from the top is magnificent. A very beautiful moment.

A pleasant hike, with a steady climb at first to the ruin and then downhill. A pleasant, shady path.

What a lovely little walk! We'd never been to this area before, the village is well worth a visit, and walking through the forest was very pleasant.

Thanks for the very efficient directions. Just be careful, after point 3, at a crossroads you lose the signs for the path in the red rectangle.
Just a note: we didn't have walking shoes, but with trainers it was more than enough, it's very affordable.

A very nice walk in fine but cold weather, with a magnificent view from the Hohrupf ruins.
On the way out we stopped off at the chapel and on the way back we visited the magnificent abbey.

A superb walk on a beautiful sunny day, and above all, the abbey and chapel are marvellous, lost in the heart of the forest, a must-see for those who don't know it.

A very pretty walk (which took me 2 hours 20 minutes), although the first hour was a bit strenuous as it was quite steep. On the way down from the castle ruins, at the little bench, I took the round red path, which is a little longer but meant I didn't have to retrace my steps. A very pretty path up to the pass. A must-do when the weather's hot, as there's plenty of shade. A visit to the abbey and the little chapel at the beginning or end of the route is a must.

A lovely walk with a fine view of the abbey from the chapel.
Be careful, some signs say to go right when in fact it's the other way round.
There are two ways to reach the pass: a red circle or a yellow triangle. You can go up one side or the other, but you'll reach the pass in either case.
A very pleasant walk in the shade in warm weather, sheltered by the forest.

A very pleasant walk in very hot weather, with a gradual climb lasting a good hour. A little disappointed at the finish because the view was not very clear. Return on very pleasant paths. Good tour.

The initial climb is long, but it's a beautiful walk. A visit to the church and chapel, either at the start or at the end, is an interesting addition. One suggestion if a decision-maker passes by: a sign explaining the panorama at the summit would be welcome.
