A lovely walk, not particularly difficult. Good signposting.

It should be noted that we got the starting point wrong ^^", but we quickly found our way back!

I wasn't really convinced by the end of the walk, when we had to walk along the fields, whereas the first two-thirds were very pleasant.

We ran the route with the dog later on. It's a decent, accessible challenge.

The hike is quite pleasant.

Hiking through fields and along rivers. Not recommended in summer as it is very exposed.

Suggested improvement to the description: "(S/E) At the exit of the Rabbargala car park, turn left and continue straight ahead at 40° north-east, passing in front of a walnut plantation": This initial description is unclear. It should read: "At the PEDESTRIAN exit leading to Rabbargala Park, turn left and pass in front of a walnut plantation". (We spent a good five minutes looking for the start at the exit of the CAR car park when it is actually the PEDESTRIAN exit...)
Furthermore, for the uninitiated, directions in degrees such as "40° north-east" or (point 4) "Follow the north-west path 300°" are of no help. Simple directions such as "right", "left" or "straight ahead" are more meaningful.
A beautiful hike, well exposed to the sun. In February, the country lanes are muddy.
We took advantage of the bench near the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk to have a picnic. A very pleasant spot. The last part of the hike, which runs along the Dollerbaechlein to Wittenheim, is, in our opinion, the most beautiful. We completed the loop in just under 3 hours, without rushing.

A lovely walk along three rivers, with the surprise of seeing nutria in the Dollerbaechlein and, at this time of year, the sight of apple trees in bloom is a treat. Crossing the Ill on the bridge over the brine pipeline from the Alsace potash mines was a wonderful discovery. Passing near the St Georges farm, which is a pig farm, was unpleasant because of the foul smell.
A lovely walk that I would recommend.

A beautiful walk around the Ill, alternating between the Dollerbaechlein and Quatelbach canals, crossing the Ill halfway along the route on the pipeline bridge that carried residual brine from the potash mines to the Rhine.
