(S/E) With the station on your left, cross the Route de Strasbourg (D392) and take the first turn left then right to enter Rue de Hermolsheim (the war memorial should be on your right). Continue straight on.
(1) At the second junction, stop for a moment to admire the Notre-Dame de Lorette Chapel on your right, then turn left into Rue des Violettes. Cross the level crossing. Immediately after the railway line, take Chemin du Heilighiesel on your right. Go under the D1420 (or RN420) and climb the steps to reach the Heilig Hiesel Chapel (which should be on your left).
(2) From the chapel, continue along the railway line, keeping straight on, until you reach the first cluster of houses on your right. You’ll cross a meadow – please remember to close the gate behind you. You’ll realise you’ve been walking along Rue de Hermolsheim, which joins from the right: turn left, then immediately right, and continue to follow the railway line until you reach the next cluster of houses (which will also be on your right). Carry on straight ahead along Rue des Acacias, following the railway line, until you reach the level crossing on the right.
(3) Cross the railway line and take the street on the left (Rue des Fleurs). At the end of Rue des Fleurs, turn left onto Rue des Rochers. Carry on to the end, then turn right onto Rue des Vosges, and continue to the junction at Place de la Liberté.
At Place de la Liberté, turn left onto Rue du Général de Gaulle (D217). Continue to the junction with Rue de Dinsheim. Turn right onto this street and pass under the D1420 (or RN420). Carry on straight ahead towards the village centre on the D717 and, at the junction with Rue du Général de Gaulle, turn left for about 150 metres until you reach the chapel on your right.
(4) Just before the chapel, turn right onto Rue de la Chapelle.
(5) After the junction with Rue du Schiebenberg, leave Rue de la Chapelle – which continues to the left – and take the dirt track that starts on the right.
Once on the dirt track, follow the signposts to Notre-Dame du Schiebenberg. To do this, turn right at the first junction and then left at the second. About 80 metres further on, turn right, keep to the right at the next junction and finally turn left to reach the statue of Notre-Dame du Schiebenberg.
(6) Just before the statue, follow the Yellow Ring markings to take the path that leads back down the hill until the path widens, then turn left. Carry on until you see a bench ahead of you, then turn right. At the end, turn left and follow the Yellow Ring to turn right, then left. 750 metres further on, turn right to join Rue du Camp.
(7) Turn right and follow this street for about a hundred metres, then turn left onto the small path just before the first house in the village. At the end, turn right onto the street and carry on straight ahead; further on, the street becomes the Chemin des Juifs and leads to the D392 at the sign marking the entrance to the commune of Dinsheim-sur-Bruche.
(8) Continue along Boulevard Clémenceau until you reach the junction with Rue du Maréchal Leclerc.
(9) Turn left here and carry on to the crossroads, where you’ll turn right onto Rue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny. At the chapel, turn left, then right at the next junction. At the Fork in the road about fifty metres further on, turn left onto Rue de la Source and carry on for about 400 metres. Take care not to miss the Hinterkirch path on the right, just after a small car park.
(10) Turn right onto this path and continue until you reach Rue de la Trinité. Leave the path by turning left onto this street. Carry on for a few metres until you see the Yellow Ring markings again, then turn right and head down the path leading to the rear of Saint-Maurice Church, following the Stations of the Cross (you’ll see relief carvings on the church’s perimeter wall).
(11) With the gate leading to the church behind you, continue along Rue de l’Église and turn left; after a few metres you will pass the community centre and walk alongside the town hall car park. At the far end of the car park, take the alleyway on the right, Rue des Remparts, to reach the fortified gate (Porte du Bas).
(12) Go through the gate and turn left onto Avenue du Général de Gaulle. Cross two bridges over the Bruche. After the second bridge, turn into the second street on the left, Rue Saint-Jacques. Don’t worry about continuing along the same street for about 900 metres until you reach the Chapelle Saint-Jacques. The road will turn into a dirt track and you won’t see the chapel until after a sharp bend.
(13) With the chapel behind you, retrace your steps and take the second street on the left, Rue Haberland, which winds its way between the houses. Follow it to the end and, at the junction with Rue des Champs, turn right to return to the station (S/E).
